What is your question?
I just purchased a 2009 Chevy Traverse and when I stop for more than a couple of minutes like at a red light my pol pressure low, stop engine warning shows and my oil light dings. What is that? I've has the oil checked and it is full. I was told that I need an oil change. I had it hooked up to 2 different machines that read nothing is wrong
What makes this problem better or worse?
When I stop for longer than a few minutes
How long has your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse had this problem?
A little over a week since I purchased it

Hello, Scanning the vehicle is one part of diagnosing your issue. To prove the diagnosis that everything is fine, an oil pressure gauge can be used to identify if pressure matches the pressure reading. If you do have low oil pressure, it can be engine sludge, a bad oil pump, debris blocking oil passages, etc. The bad part is that the engine will be damaged by running with low oil pressure, so you need to have it diagnosed properly in case there is an actual issue. It could just be a bad electrical connection between the engine control module and the oil pressure sensor, a bad oil pressure sensor, or maybe a leak at the oil pressure sensor.
