Most would agree to run a gauge AND a light, both can't lie at the same time.

Yes, he still has a chance, although very slim.
On my race car and street car I have a red warning light with a 20Lb. psi sender....if it comes on, you'l see it.....thankfully,never have seen them come on except at start-up........

BTW: I'm not a big proponent of high volume oil pumps....

BTW 2: at some Ford Fun Events, they used to have a "chevy burn down contest", take any old chevy car out of a junkyard still running, remove the driveshaft, drain the water in the radiator and oil in the pan, start it up, put a brick on the accelarator and you'd pay a few bucks to guess how long the motor would last before blowing, seen one do 22 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
