I have a '93 GLT with 285,000 miles on it. The 93's have a low level light indicator to alert you when oil is down a bit, in my case I think about 1/2 quart down. I like the warning as it takes about 4-5k miles to come on and it reminds me time for an oil change. (yes, small leak or burning some but after 285k miles I don't think too bad).

Question - where is the oil level sensor located and can it be replaced without major hassle - or is it a dealer item - or is this a case for using a piece of tape to just cover the light?

I know Volvo dropped the sensor on later models as they were troublesome but if practicable I would like to fix.

Thanks!

The sensor is located in the front of the oil pan kind of next to where the oil dip stick tube goes. It has one electrical connector and two screws that hold it in. It is supposed to be it's own complicated little control unit and not just a simple sensor. I replaced quite a few of them back in the day and it is no big deal, but they are rather problematic at best and I am sure that is why they were dropped in the subsequent year models.

Thankd - do you know if it is something that can be refurbished or replaced or just disconnected to turn off the dash light?
