Fernando:
My mom's '96 without about 200,000 miles was being driven by us without a working oil pressure light, and I, who drove it only occasionally and was the guy who bought it, never noticed it.
A lot of lights on dash come on when car starts. The oil pressure light did not, and so I never knew what it looked like - - an old fashioned can, in middle of the pictogram.
A new sender was cheap tho a little tough to install as it's on the back of the block.
More recently I was looking at a '94 and noticed while trying it out that IT didn't have a working oil pressure light either. Miles on it, about 140,000.
You don't say plainly about your oil pressure light, but your sender may have failed or the wire could be off it. Or maybe it's not totally failed, just intermittent.
Anyway, I thought I'd pitch in here as a warning to any other 9000ers.
