P0521 Low engine oil presure
I got this code the other day. Parked it, took it directly to the shop and they checked the oil pressure mechanically and it's all good. Im replacing the oil pressure sending unit, hopefully that's all it is. Are they notorious for going bad on these cars? Thanks in advance. Car is an 09 G8GT.

Thanks, hopefully that's all it is. No unusual noises from the car and oil pressure is normal. Just DOD doesn't work with the idiot light on.

One of our club members chased his low pressure for a bit, replacing the sender and then found out the AC Delco filter he'd used was collapsed inside.
Isn't there a screen behind the sender that can be cleaned? I seem to remember hearing about that.

Yes there is a filter below the sensor that should be replaced also.
