After replacing the oil pressure sensor, I started it up and no more warning. Following the manufacturers recommendation for seating the rings (varied RPM for about 20 minutes), I took it for a 25 test minute drive on some back roads. The engine ran great, nice and smooth! For the last few minutes of the drive, I got on the interstate for just a couple of miles. Right as I took the off ramp, the low oil pressure warning came on. There was a parking area right at the end of the ramp, so I pulled in, shut it down and took a look under the car for any sign of an oil leak. Everything looked fine, so I took a chance and drove the remaining 1 mile to my house.It turns out the internal seal of the brand new oil pressure sensor I bought failed. When I removed the wiring connector, the end was covered with oil. I removed the sensor and used my air compressor to blow some air at the end of it and I could see oil seeping out around the pin. Unfortunately the automotive store I bought the sensor from only carried the one brand, so I decided to purchase from an online company instead.New sensor installed and no more low oil pressure warning...and it's lasted longer than 20 minutes! I just completed the 100 mile ring break in with 5W-30 conventional oil as recommended by the ring manufacturer, so I drained the oil and have put in 5W-30 full synthetic and a new oil filter. I closely inspected the oil filer I had in for the break-in and it looked clean, no metal fragments!I will be carefully checking the oil level every 500 miles until the next oil change at 3,000 miles. I'm hoping that new rings and pistons have fixed the oil burning issue, we will see!</blockquote>
