So far from what I have seen, it's always the switch.

That's not definitive as more than one item was changed, and always complacency to assume its the switch. Leaves open the opportunity to ruin bearings etc if the assumption is wrong.

I wasn't assuming anything. All I said was: So far from what I have seen, it's always the switch. Doesn't mean much, but some could welcome that as a recommendation: look there first, before you do the complicated stuff like diving in the engine.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
In my 60 years on two and four wheels it has always been the oil switch - one day it might not be.

My neighbour panicked when his oil light started flickering on  his  newish Kia 4x4, the Kia agent could not fix it it for over a week, they advised him not to drive it
He sought my advice, he  took the vehicle to his normal none Kia garage who fitted a replacement for about £35.00. It fixed the problem. He was happy to pay even though it was still under the 7 year warranty so he could have use of the vehicle.
