Pull out the light, and buy another one just like it.  It really is that easy.

Ok, yes re-reading your post I realize that you said you changed the bulb already.  It took 2-3 times, though.  :laugh:

You can check the sensor directly using a voltmeter or hooking a 12V light bulb directly to it and the + terminal of the battery (I think).  If the sensor's busted, you probably have to replace it.  I don't know if stuff like that is fixable.

Or you can check your oil level regularly (like you're supposed to) and never worry about the light.  It's not called a "too late light" for nothing.
