Default Oil Pressure Light stays on under 2000 rpm so i changed the oil pressure sensor

Now it only Flickers when at stops, while flickering there is matching noise static on the radio. On pressing down the gas peddle. The light goes off and the static on the radio stops. This only started when i changed the oil to a 10w 30 Full synthetic oil.

Welcome to the Forums. When the "flicker" is sorted, please do an Intro in the New members Area.

Best guess from afar, bad engine earth strap.

Very common issue on many brands of cars.

I would suspect that the oil is a bit on the light side and a change back? To a heavier weight migh solve the problem, how many miles/Klm on the engine?

Might be a bad connection in the sensor's circuit.

Now all we need is an OBD dongle that doesn't randomly wipe the ECU.

Wow! That's cheap.
Problem is that I'm in Bahrain...... Not sure if there's a local lab like here with the same service.

Um, wrong thread. Apparently I can't be trusted to post without supervision.

Right way: attach mechanical pressure gauge and check pressure.
In your case I would change oil to heavier, it is hot in your country.
