Low pressure warning

[Philipkee]

In Jan this year, my low oil pressure indicator came on. I sent my car for servicing, everything was back to normal.

 

Today, 5000 plus km later, the low oil pressure indicator came on again. I am sure there is nothing wrong with the oil pressure. What could be the cause? The indicator flickers on and off sometimes, not frequently

To be 100% positive that you lub pump is in order get yr mech to do a oil pressure test - simple as ABC

Low pressure can cause serious damage to the engines moving and rotating components.

I think TS is talking about the OEM oil pressure sensor.

check your oil level?

[Philipkee]

Oil level normal

Oil level normal

 

 

If oil level is ok sometimes yr oil too thin. Either u using too thin oil or it thins too much till cannot reach required oil pressure.

 

If u using a thin oil like 20-30weight oil....try using 40-50 weight n see how.

 

Also use good quality oil not some new or unknown brands. Some lousy oil thins very fast.
