How do i check oil pressure on 2005 dodge magnum

You need professional a/c manifold to check the system

If you have no knowledge or training on any type a/c system,
then don't work on it,you will ruin it

Have a shop do that

you are most probably looking at a rebuild. There was a class action suit against Chrysler because of that motor. they made the oil passages in that motor too narrow, and it doesn't take a lot of gunk to block them up and a good section of the motor loses oil pressure. I remember that their policy was to blame the customer if he missed a single service. a lot of those engines failed under warranty.

also check your oil for white foam in it , you could have a leaky gasket ,

you have to unhook ur alternator take it out of the car ur oil pressure valve is underneath the alternator make sure to unhook ur battery

what engine size? what is the code? what weight oil/ brand are you using.

these have a problem with the overhead cams, one or more of the bolts break which restricts the oil flow to the lifters.

try replacing the oil sending unit first,
it tells the gauge on your dash how much pressure you have,if your light comes on it means you don't have oil pressure,so change the sending unit to see if this takes care of it,

how do i turn the oil light off in my 2005 dodge magnum?

Not necessarily, but you need to check a bunch of things.

Did it run low on oil or out of oil, did the oil pressure go to zero for more than a minute.
Yes - you may have problems
No - you probably did kill things - but watch your cooling level for a while - using water could mean a head gasket leak

Is it really lifters, listen real close and make sure you think that is what it is.

Lifters tap because they loose their oil pressure. I would run it for a while and see if they come back up. Else you need to identify which one and replace it.

This is not an overwelmingly serious problem unless you are reving high. The lifters can be quite loose and not cause any catasrophic problems.

I good grade of low viscosity synthetic oil might also help.

lack of oil in top end, on start up ! running 0-20 synth oil right, I add some LUKAS oil treatment,
