2014 Chrysler town & country.

The engine light came on our van and we have this code P0520

Tried looking online and found its oil pressure sender issues or maybe oil temp?

Whats the deal with this? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated...Thank you!

I had an oil pressure sender conk out....2007 Ram 1500. Easy job. The sender is near the oil filter.
Maybe you will have similar good luck.

There is a technical service bulletin NUMBER: 18-034-14 REV. A
. For oil pressure sending unit. Is it still under warrenty? Dealer should replace it if it is.

What is "Normal" on the 3.6 Wife's van, I drove it today about an hour and pressure started out about 96psi and was still in the high 60's at my destination. At about 179 oil temp.

That seems high for oil pressure. My wifes 15 journey with 3.6 is about 70 at start up, after warm up it idles about 30 psi, in the 50's while driving.

I agree it seems really high. It must be a sender issue giving false or over spec readings. I will look into it. It may also be under warranty still. Only has 60,000 miles on it. I will post back when i have an answer for it.

My 2014 van oil pressure is 96 also at start up & idiling. It does not climb any higher than that when rpms go up.

Thank you that's good to know. I would have never guessed that a little V6 would pump that much oil pressure stock...

Oil pressure certainly surprised me too. Been that way since day 1 and nearly 70,000 miles.

just a quick update. I replaced the sender. Took about 15 minutes. We drove it a few times and the light turned off on its own.
