Default engine oil sensor

my engine oil temp seemed to be pretty low lately, but there didnt seem to be any serious problems. however today there was a real bad rain storm, in which the roads were covered with puddles everywhere. after having driven home, letting the car sit for a few hours, and then going back out driving, the engine oil sensor light came on. i was wondering if this was pure coincidence or if this is a real problem that was caused by the rain?

Default How often have you been changing your oil?

What engine?

Default probably not the cause...

the only ones who "blame it on the rain" are Milli Vanilli! Sorry, I could not resist that one. But really, it is probably a coincidence. Need to know more about your car. Which engine do you have, what year.

Default Oil topped off?

The oil sensor light can also come on if you're low on oil, lose pressure, or have a bad pump.

At a minimum, did you check the level?
