Engine Performance problem
2002 Dodge Caravan 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive 258000 miles

Low oil pressure light comes on, after driving for about 10-15 minutes, from a long time stop. it goes off when i speed up and comes on again at idle. i sometimes see a kind of smoke and burning oil smell when i open the hood. But this smoke and burnig is not repeated problem. I have changed oil and filter , but no change. Please, can you give advice?

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge,if normal replace the oil pressure switch.If abnormal could mean oil pump and engine bearing.
