New to me

Just purchased a 2001 314-8 with a kohler command pro 14.not sure about oil light being on when I turn the key on.is this normal?also can’t seem to find information on this motor using the serial number 1KHXS.3982GC. I think I should buy an oil pressure sensor just in case. I took this out and cleaned it and reinstalled it but it still works the same.any information would be appreciated.

If the engine is not running and the light is on that is a bulb check. Should go out when the oil pressure builds.

Should be the illustrated parts list if your spec number is 1838

If you can get the on/off specs of the switch, Napa might be able to match it.

 No love fer Fram filters here... I prefer WIX myself or Napa (I believe they are same at least they used to be)

Test it first,     don't replace a perfectly good switch. Flickering tells me you could have a wire with a loose connection or insulation that is frayed and making contact with ground.   Page 6-4 of the service manual tells you what to do. Any oil pressure switch that closes at 3 to 5 psi and has 1/8" pipe thread will do the job.
