Hi there, I have experience problems with my oil light and buzzer coming on while driving my 86 Vanagon Syncro, and I've concluded that it was because I was using too thin oil for the temperature outside. When I use 20-40 it rarely happens. But I am still wondering why are there two oil sensors, which I am told measure too high as well as too low oil pressure on the engine. I can understand too low pressure, but why would they want to warn the driver if the oil pressure is too high? I never understood that. Can anyone explain it to me? Thanks, Charles
