Re: oil light!!
That is odd cause usually in the morning your light should be off more than on cause you oil is col and less viscous. Are you loosing oil from anywhere? could be the sensor.

X2. You don't want to mess up your crank or any bearings. I'm not sure if you were talking about the same plug I'm thinking of but the oil pressure sensor near the oil filter, they sometimes need to be replaced. I know it happened to a guy here recently and when he put a new one on it fixed the problem.
