Do you have an oil pressure gauge? The stock gauge only comes on at like <5psi or something ridiculously low, so if your oil pressure is low enough to trigger it, the damage might already be done. Is your feed line tee'd off the same source as the stock pressure sender?

just because you have oil doesnt mean that you have pressure. you need to find out what is going on and hope that there isnt any engine damage. and get an oil pressure gauge asap. $60 can save your whole setup.
