2017 Kia Sorento Oil Light On When At Idle But Goes Off When Driving:
I have a 2017 Kia Sorento 3.3L V6. Oil light is on at idle but goes off at engine reaches 2k rpms. I took it to a shop because I assumed the engine would have to come out if it was the oil pump. Looks like the oil pan can be removed without taking the engine out. I realized this after watching a few videos on it. Not a lot of info out there on this, so this is why I'm posting. Could have been 3 things; oil pan clogging the pump (trash), oil pump defective, or the oil sensor. It ended up being the oil sensor. You have to remove the intake manifold and fuel rails (injectors) to reach the oil sensor. The garage charged a little over $400 for the repair. I would have done it myself it I had this info on the car. The oil sensor is about $20. Posting this info to help someone else to save money. I'll post a pic of underneath the engine soon because I couldn't find one on the web.
Here are pics of engine bottom:
