I need advice. I bought my 2018 GEN 2 raptor around August 10th of this year. This was a "blue certified" vehicle from a dealer with 86,000 miles. After 2 weeks I got my first check engine light. This was a faulty oxygen sensor (must've really done a strong pre purchase inspection!) and it was replaced free of charge. This was the least of my issues. Two weeks after the oxygen sensor was replaced, I began getting low oil pressure warnings. I took it right back to the dealer who replaced the oil pressure sensor and gave it back. As I drove off the lot, the oil pressure warning began again. They claimed it was the oil pump and replaced the oil pump as well as the valve cover. Fast forward to last friday (almost A MONTH LATER), I finally got the car back with a new oil pump. Left the lot and in about 20 min after filling the tank with 91, BAM. Low oil pressure. Took the truck straight back to the dealer. It has now been about a month since I've had possession of my truck (and I've owned it for 2 months). Dealer can't seem to figure out what's causing the issue and I'm stuck regretting my purchase. Any advice guys? I'm a first time buyer who finally decided to treat himself with something nice and it has been a terrible experience.

Welcome to FRF
It sounds suspicious. Did you get a carfax / oasis report on the vehicle before you bought and if so, what was the previous maintenance history like?

Ok, the 02 sensor; 86k miles?... possible. The oil issue bugs me a little in that is sounds a LOT like they simply replaced the sensor without validating the underlying oil pressure.
THAT sounds bad.

@Old-Raptor-guy & @FordTechOne have collectively forgotten more about these trucks than most of us will ever know about them. They might be able to suggest some possibilities.
