Light came on yesterday telling me to stop motor due to oil pressure problem. stopped and started again, didn't come back on. checked oil, was definitely low, added two quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic and oil pressure indicator started up again.
Please advise. Is there anything I can do or check before shelling out bucks to have it checked by a mechanic?
Hi. there are many issues that can cause this type of situation. the oil pressure sending unit may be malfunctioning. there could be a faulty module or the wires and connectors could also be lose or faulty as well. you could also have a clogged oil filter but, that usually isn't the main issue here. the most common problem here would be a bad oil screen in the pan or a faulty oil pump. you will find the problem in these areas above.
Please rate and god bless:)
Looked to see if you have oil leak and where it is..Or see if it is burning it or if theres smoke coming out the exhaust..Hope this helps and have a great day
