On occasion after driving on the highway for a distance the low oil pressure light comes on when i stop and goes off when i step on the gas again. I looked it up in the manual and it says to have a pro look at it . Well who can afford that now!! Is there something I can do to check it or is it a major problem. Oh and by the way i checked the oil and its full and clean.

Hi there,

You will need to get the engine oil pressure tested with a mechanical gauge, you will need hot readings at idle and at around 2,000 RPM.
do this and post your findings.
