first the 2.7 is a motor that gets hotter than most engines and has bad oil galleys, using synthetic oil is the only way to correct this problem. normal oil has a lower boiling point than synthetic and breakes down to quick and creates sludge. if your oil pressure light comes on and flickers, most likely is a bad sensor, about $20 from the dealer. only use the dealer part or it will fail again. chrysler knows about this problem and they think it is vaccuum between the wire connector and the switch, where it plugs in. they have a fix called a vent wire that can be bought from dealer for around $15 or can be made for under $1 go to dealer and look at it and u can buy the wire connector and a length of wire bassically making the same part. i have put 6 sensors into mine in just over a year. i have tried almost every brand of sensor and they have all leaked. seems like the light will come on more when it rains. the switch has a plastic diaphram in it and being so close the the exhaust can break down also. i am going to try to make a heat sheild or wrap it in heat tape and see if it cures it. if the light comes on, pull car over right away, check engine oil. if oil is ok 99% chance it is a switch. turn on engine and listen under hood for knocking or loud ticking, if so shut engine down right away. if not, go to dealer and buy the switch. it is on the pass side just next to the converter. takes a sensor socket or i use a pair of vise grips to get out. when you remove the wire connector that plugs into it, you probally will see oil leaking out of it. spray connector with some brake clean to clean it off. install new sensor hand tight and carefully tighten about 1/4 turn more this does not have to be put in till it wont turn anymore. doing so will damage sensor. then put on the vent wire which takes a pick or possibaly can use a paper clip to get the sealing dart or plastic plug on the opposite side of the wire in the connector put in new vent wire and replace the connector. hope this helps and any more questions about the 2.7 you have, i will try to answer the best i can.
