What was the PSI in 1995? Where would I find this information? Thanks again, MTG

If Subaru never used Oil Level Sensors, but my old Subaru's detected low oil.... could it be as simple as buying an old sensor? Even a wrecking yard one?

I haven't done a recall. Any ideas on where to start?

It is my understanding that Subaru started including an oil-level sensor again in 2009. Did they do a recall on previous ones?

I've owned more than 30 cars. Every one of them lit the oil light when the oil got low... including 2 Subaru's. Hard to trust a car when the safety/warning features don't work.

The oil light works fine. Just doesn't detect low oil condition. Tested with only ½ quart, and oil light still doesn't light. This is after replacing the engine and oil sensor.

I check the oil when I get gas. Last check was full and golden. I think that should be often enough, since we have an oil warning system. When my engine fried, there was no oil light. The oil stick was dry and gummy. Don't you have to have oil to have oil pressure??

Thank you OCEI77. I have a 2.5i. My Oil Warning system seems to work, but doesn't detect a low oil condition (which I thought was the primary point). The usual way of discovering this is to get a big leak, then drive up and down hills at freeway speeds until you fry the motor. Oil pan dry, but no oil light. Testing with the new motor a little more controlled way. Even with a new motor and sensor, it still doesn't detect a low oil condition (½ quart). It would be great to be able to trust my car again... still making payments.

Looking for a schematic for 2008 Outback dashboard. Specifically looking for 'Oil Sensor' and 'Oil Light' wiring. Thanks in advance, MTG
