You may have dirt on sensor, or your oil pump needs to be changed.

If same wiring harness is good, using the right oil, it's probably your oil pump. Easy fix on an LS
Also could be your gauge.

Although the other answers are accurate, it could also be a clogged oil filter, which would impede oil flow and read as low oil pressure, or (less likely) it could also be an oil leak/leaks messing with the pressure

Hi there, Gina.
Swapped the oil pressure sensor and still seeing that pesky "low oil pressure" light in your 2011 Silverado? Don't fret, it's not always the sensor itself. Let's crack open the hood and troubleshoot:
Double-check the basics. Did you use the right sensor for your engine size? Did you tighten it up just right, not too snug, not too loose? Sometimes the simplest things bite us in the... well, you get the picture
Wiring woes The sensor might be fine, but the wires feeding it the info could be acting up. Check for any frayed wires, loose connections, or even corrosion.
Beyond the sensor: It could be something deeper, like a clogged oil filter restricting flow or a worn-out oil pump struggling to keep up. In that case, you might hear some knocking or ticking noises, too.
False alarm? Believe it or not, sometimes that light stays on after a sensor change just because it needs a reset. Check your owner's manual for the specific steps on your Silverado.
If you're not comfortable digging deeper, don't be a hero. Haul your trusty truck to a trusted mechanic. They'll have the tools and expertise to diagnose the real culprit and get your oil pressure back where it belongs.
Once you've identified which part needs to be replaced, click this link to be directed to our website where your vehicle information has already been entered. Simply enter the part's name into the search field to get started.
Remember, ignoring low oil pressure is like ignoring a hungry grizzly bear at a picnic – not a good idea!
