What does low oil pressure light on F150 mean?
If your F150’s sensor has gone bad, it’ll shoot a false low pressure reading to the ECM. One of the first things that people do when they have the low oil pressure light is to change out this sensor to see if that rectifies the problem. Here’s a good article on how to check the oil pressure sensor from itstillruns.
Why does my oil light keep coming on?
A clogged oil sensor can give a false reading of low oil pressure, which will illuminate your oil light. Never assume, however, that an oil light coming on is because of a clogged sensor. Low engine oil is actually a rare cause of an oil light coming on.

Low oil pressure will cause the engine to seize up. When the oil pressure light on, it should be assumed that the engine locking up is imminent. We advise not running the engine until the issue can be properly diagnosed. There are many things that can cause low oil pressure. Below, we’ll review the most common causes:
What does the oil pressure indicator mean on a Honda?
