I put this under electric, but that may not be the correct category.
When driving, the oil-temp light will come on and the engine loses power and shuts down.
This only occurs once in awhile. And it may be days in between. The car has been put on a computer and nothing shows up. The mechanic had it for two days and drove it on a regular basis with nothing happening.
I can't trust it to go on a longer trip as it has left me setting to often.
Any suggestions?

I would replace the sending units (sensors), there may be an intermittent problem with them.
