Today while I was working as a delivery driver the engine oil light came on. I was due for an oil change at 190k miles and it had 189600 miles. I stopped right away and checked the oil and it could have been a little low and it was a little dirty but nothing out of the ordinary considering it had 4600 miles on the oil. I added about 3/4 quart of oil and the light came on still but only at idle drive speed it was fine. I stopped and got oil and filter and engine flush at the store drove home 5 minutes with the flush in the oil. Then changed the oil turned it on and the light went out. Then 30 seconds later it came back on. It does run perfectly normal.

Is the oil pump clogged? Is the sensor bad? Is the engine blowing up? Is the pickup screen clogged? What should I do now?

Bad sensor.

And you probably should not be using any engine flush.
