04 sebring 2.7L oil light
So oil light comes on at idle when at a stop but goes off when driving. Oil pressure sensor was leaking and could smell burning oil from it dripping on the exhaust so I changed that. No more leak or smell but light still comes on. The car drives normal and doesnt make any weird noises or anything. It idles around 600rpm, and the light seems to go off at around 650-700. Any way to make the idle higher or Should I try using thicker oil? Or what else can I try? Thanks.

Make sure the oil passage to the sensor is clear.
If it's clear, and the problem persists, hook up a pressure gauge there and see if the actual pressure is low at idle. The car is 17 years old and may have low oil pressure at idle. That could be an indication of a serious problem, like worn bearings or weak oil pump.
