Hey Joe,
Are you sure it's the hydraulic oil low pressure or is it the engine oil low pressure light? Check the engine oil for being low, over full, filter change, right type of oil, leaks, air filter, spark plug, clean air intake, battery getting a good charge, if that stuff is ok, then find your oil pressure switch and change that out.
But it if it is the hydraulic oil light, check for leaks, that is a high pressure system so don't put your hand by hydraulic leaks use cardboard or something to check for leaks, a pin hole leak can cause severe damage to your skin from a high pressure injection from fluid.
Let me know if this helps and we can go from here

SOURCE: Low Oil pressure light in idle at stop

Depending on the amount of miles, maintenance records, or how hard the car has been driven either by a previous owner, or by yourself. The engine's main crankshaft bearings or the connecting-rod bearings could be excessively worn.

Also, it could very well be a wiring problem to the sensor and/or computer causing the problem.

SOURCE: OIL PRESSURE LIGHT INTERMINTENLY GOES OFF AND ON

Keep checking those Fluids. it sounds a lot like your Oil pump is taking a Slow Death March. At some point you will need to replace it.

SOURCE: Oil Pressure Light Comes On after 10 min of Driving

You may not have put the right amount of oil in your car, your oil pressure sensor could be faulty, or you may have a leak.

By revving your engine, you're increasing the pressure and thus turning off the light and making the sensor think that it's at the correct pressure.

SOURCE: 2002 Ford Escape V6. Oil indicator light on, but pressure holds.

My 2002 Ford Escape had exactly the same problem as described. Dealer replace oil pressure sending unit (oil pressure switch) and problem still existed while leaving dealer about 3 miles away. I took the car back to the dealer again in two days and the oil pressure light kept of blinking sporatically all the way to the dealer. Dealer checked connections and they drove the car around and the oil pressure light never came on. I picked the car up from the dealer and I've had no problems with the oil pressure light flashing. I wonder if there is a microprocesser in the oil pressure sending unit which has to be given some time to be recalibrated to the cars main computer module?

Oil pressure insufficient light comes on with stop sign from my peugeot 406. lately, i changed the timing belt(cambelt) along side the valves and ever since, the indicator of oil pressure insufficient

the oil pump should have been PRIMED before running the engine , this is done by connecting a electric drill to the oil pump drive and run drill for 3-5 mins , this will pump the oil into all the galleries etc so when engine is started the oil is already around the smaller intricate areas , the oil pump alone will not always get to these parts after having the head removed , that is also the reason for the rise in temp

I have 2005 kia spectra and I got a new radiator

if there is no engine noise then the oil pressure is probably good there fore you most likely have a bad oil pressure sensor that is bad causing the oil light to come on. change the oil pressure sensor(OPS).

Low oil pressure and stop engine light after changing battery and alternator hear knocking now

I see more than one issue in your story. Its possible the computer lost memory and will need to relearn. But that would not explain the knocking noise. The oil pressure warning might explain the noise if oil pressure really is low. Running without the belt for even 5 min would not cause the problems you describe.
I would focus on the low oil pressure warning and the noise first.

97 98 buick park ave oil light blinks and stays on

The oil light is either a bad sensor or it's telling the truth that oil pressure is low. You can install a new sensor or hook up a mechanical gauge to find actual pressure. Cutting off can be caused by way too many things to list

Have an 04 lancer. Oil light comes on sometimes just flickers, but only after warmed up and at an idle. driving down the road the light stays off. Oil never low and just changed with filters, brand new...

Replace the oil pressure sender. The sender is what is turning the warning light on.If you replace the oil pressure sender it should fix the flickering light problem. If it does not , the light is an indication of more serious motor killing problem. Fortunately, the sender is under $10 and usually fails before the actual oil pump.

1993 VW golf 1.8. oil is leaking from oil pressure sending unit, i've replaced the unit but now the low oil warning buzzer is going off (didn't previously do this) and warning light stays (also not a...

It seems the fault is with the oil pressure switch you have replaced. This switch seems to need a higher pressure to cut off and the oil pressure light is coming on because it indicates low.
So if your oil is good , the oil filters were changed recently this fault must not come up. if not replace oil and oil filters to check but keep this option that the fault was never there earlier and a new part can also be faulty.

WHEN DO I DHANGE THE OIL? HOW MANY MILES TO

manufacturer recomends every 5000 miles, I personaly recomend every 3 thousond miles and always use the toyota brand oil filter or you will be replacing the timing chain early. If your oil indicator light is on then check the level of oil. If it is low this will cause it to come on, also if the oil gets too thin from not being changed it will lower the oil pressure making the light come on, worst case is the oil pump can go out and the light will come on because of no oil pressure.

GOLF 1.9 TD 1996

Hi

The light and buzzer are indicating low oil pressure and therefor if there is enough oil in th engine then you should have the oil pressure tested because you could have, amingst other things, a worn oil pump, a clogged strainer or a sticking oil filter check valve

Maybe you could try an oil and filter change using a good quality oil filter?

Very best regards

Geordie
