Front air dam

[Tourmgt]

I have somehow lost my lower front air dam on my '96. Just looked the other day and its gone. Anyone know where I can purchase another one? Also I purchassed this car in '02 and the "oil level" warning would come on every now and then. In the summer of '03 I had a leak in my radiator repaired and new AC comp installed. When I pick the car up as soon as its started the "oil level" warning came on and it does every time I start the car since. I change oil every 3000 and usually only have to place about a quart around 2200 to 2500. Is my sensor bad and how much does it cost and how hard is to DIY?

It's not the factory one, but you might as well improve anyway. Try this:

Either the sender or oil pump I would quess is your problem. What does the pressure read? Did you have the codes read? I'm sure this would at least point you in the right direction.

Isn't that razzi the whole lower fascia, not just the air dam? He'd have to have that "installed" instead of just clipping in the new GM one.

I had to replace my lower air deflector in the fall of 03. On Halloween night I was driving home and heard a "scch...schh" sound, I pulled over and noticed my lower air deflector was hanging down. The noise was it rubbing against the ground once in a while.

I replaced the lower air deflector with an OEM unit, it cost me $23 dollars CDN. It has small tabs that pop into the back side of curb guard and little one-time use pop screws that run horizontally back near the front axle.

The lower air dam or deflector helps regulate engine temperatures, as the car doesnt have a front grille. I would replace yours as soon as you can.

Granted we are talking about the same flimsy plastic that runs underneath the car behind the front curb guard.

Oil pressure is fine, I'm sure it's the senser.
All I need is the plastic lower dam that clips in place.
I noticed mine coming unclipped in the center whenever I'd been up to speeds of 90 to 100. I'd just pop it back in place. Then the other day I noticed it was GONE.

The oil level sensor is located on the side of the oil pan near the front of the vehicle. Mine used to have the same problem, so I crawled under and took a look. Apparently the electrical connector took a hit from something because it was partly broken and was disconnected. I was able to reconnect it and the warning went away. Eventually I will need to replace the connector, but it was good to find a simple answer to the problem. Hope yours is just as simple.

There is a technical service bulletin about the oil level warning indicator. Ref :- how to test it with a scanner.
