Has anyone experienced this or agree? AAM has been great to work with so I almost hate to ask the question (and doubt what they told me)

I don't really understand this. Is this a different sensor than the pressure sensor that is located near the bottom of the front face of the motor?

If it is the same sensor, how could altering the height cause this glitch? My understanding is that the sensor is just a dumb pressure sensor that is after the oil pickup (after all, the oil pan is not pressurized....) so if it is reporting low oil pressure for a second.... it would seem to me that you have low oil pressure for that second.

I have a high capacity oil pan and there is a spacer on my oil pickup. I've never had my oil pressure light come on.

If anyone can shed more light on this, please do so!
