Mcdevito75 here, Believe it or not, if you have high mileage on the engine, the oil pressure switch could indicate low oil pressure as you come to a stop, or the oil pressure switch is bad, no way to test you"d just have to change the oil pressure switch.

SOURCE: Oil level low light comes on. When I turn

some cars with oil level warning light on, it doesn't mean that its only reading the engine oil level is low, sometime the transmission fuid too. Did you check your transmission fluid if it is ok or not? try to check and let us know, ok.

SOURCE: engine oil light comes on at idle, oil level ok

Increasing the weight of the oil by a shade will get rid of the problem, and adding a high-zinc motor oil will eliminate any possibility of sludge in the pan (with proper oil changes). However, as mentioned before, it is a band-aid fix. It will work indefinitely, if you are diligent with changing your oil every 3000 miles. Use 3.8 quarts of Rotella T 15w-40, add one quart of Lucas oil stabilizer, and use a WIX filter with an anti-drainback valve (which isn't really necessary since the filter hangs upside-down on a 2.7, but it's a good habit to use one on everything you drive). Do not use a Fram filter, Valvoline oil, or STP... or anything else. The three I mentioned above are the only ones to use, and DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC OIL/ADDITIVES. I bought a 2004 Intrepid for the whopping sum of $250 that had the oil light/idle/low RPM issue because the owner was told by Sternberg Chrysler Center in Jasper, Indiana that the engine was going to grenade in short order. He wasn't going to pay them in excess of $2000 to replace the engine. I've put tons of miles on it since, and absolutely NO sign of the light, even now with the 2/1 Oxygen Sensor bad (which lowers the idle down to 600 instead of 750-800 where it should be). I'd trust the car cross-country. It's an expensive oil change at around $40 instead of $20 with cheap components, but what's saving your engine worth to you? A heck of a lot, I'd hope!

SOURCE: abs light is on.

It is on because there is a problem with the Anti-Lock Brake System. Your normal non-abs brakes will work fine and you cannot tell anything is wrong until you need the ABS to work and it may or may not. There can be many things causing this. It may be as simple as dirt has collected on one of the sensors. Removing the sensor and cleaning may solve the problem. You can then remove the battery cable and reset the light. That may or may not work, You may need to reset the light with a scan tool. Inspect the wiring harness to each sensor and make sure it is securely connected. Turn the wheel to full lock left and right and make sure the wire is not being pulled tight thus stressing the connection. Another problem can be a broken tooth on the reduction ring that will set a code. You really need to have this scanned with a brake scan tool to get an idea of which wheel has the problem if you find nothing from a visual inspection.
