Symptoms of a bad and failing oil pressure sensor. If the oil pressure gauag shows 0, 20, 60 or 80 then it is possible the oil pressure sensor is faulty. If the oil warning light is on, it should be inspected.

Having an issue at the moment that’s stressing me out. Four days ago I noticed when I would take sharp turns I’d get “ check engine oil level “ and as soon as I’d drive normal it would go away , and it’s been doing that ever since. I checked my oil yesterday by looking at the dipstick and it was dry. I decided to do an oil change and when I jacked up my car I noticed it there was dried up oil around the oil filter area and alongside other spots by it. I assumed that maybe I didn’t tighten the filter enough, so I made sure to do it this time lol . I finished doing the oil change and drove it a bit and still got the light that says “ check engine oil level “when I took a sharp turn . As soon as I got back to my place I checked the dipstick again and it was still dry

My oil light came on a few days ago but only when idling. It’s been cold as hell recently so I don’t know if that’s the reason why.

@Middlestepofficial 3 ай бұрын

If you've been driving the car on short trips, is diesel, and is cold outside, then it can happen that there's carbonization in the engine or some part is clogged somewhere. An engine flush followed by oil and filter change can fix it. Air filter replacement is also advisable. But it can be something else such as engine gasket leaks, or even sludge accumulation in an oil strainer under the engine. To know best, you can hook up your car on a OBD scanner and look for sensors in the oil pressure and oil pressure control solenoid. Sometimes, the solenoid cannot fire because it's digitally controlled and dependent on the correct oil pressure to activate the release valve when you remove the foot from the gas pedal, resulting in errors like this. Firstly, the pressure itself at idle should be normal as well as at particular RPMs. Hope this helps.

My 350z oil pressure gauge was showing 120+. Changed the sensor with an Amazon one for $20. Now the gauge is reading low close to 5-10psi. And after a day, now the red oil can light is coming on in the gauge cluster when at idle. I bought a manual tester and it’s reading a healthy 14psi (the tester was on loose too, as oil was leaking). Thought it was the gallery gasket, guessing just a faulty cheap sensor from Amazon. If my car blows up…..

Small thought, it may not make sense and I'm sure after years of engineering this shouldnt be a problem but its a thought... After an oil change or replacing the oil could the small port in the sensor make it hard for the oil to flow in causing air to be trapped in it.

Wouldn’t the truck start knocking or lose performance after an hour of driving with zero oil pressure ?

Hmm, I got one where the needle will sometimes fall to zero for about a second and then back to normal. Usually does it on a blue moon (don’t drive it a lot now). On my car it should be an on and off type of deal. So my assumption is, it’s going bad? I’ve had the engine rebuilt so I would think it’s the actual pump as it should be a new unit.

My oil pressure gage is sticking at around 20 sometimes 0. Just had a lot of work done some by mechanic some by me after my car broke down on the highway. New fuel filter & pump, all new spark plugs & wires, distributer, starter, thermostat.. I think that's all 😅 The coolant gage sometimes bounces still but I push on brakes and it goes down pretty fast. It doesn't seem to be overheating because the level hasn't gone down again. The oil pressure was fine before this..

@blaykevollmer9890 Жыл бұрын

How's the oil level?

@GetTheFO Жыл бұрын

Could be bad tolerances in the engine. If the crank etc are worn down, oil escapes and you lose pressure. Pressure can drop once the engine warms up (oil thins out), once you stop driving (engine begins idling under low load). This combined with loose tolerances means that insufficient pressure is produced to fully lubricate the engine. The overheating at idle could be a number of different things. Air bubbles in the coolant (wasn’t burped properly), low coolant, thermostat going bad, and worst case is the engine overheating due to poor lubrication at idle, or alternatively a head gasket leak. Can also be caused by a seriously jacked up water pump. My 2006 Colorado actually had both of your complaints. Oil pressure light would come on after heavy driving in hot weather when I came to a stop. This was fixed by simply installing a new sensor, old unit went bad. The coolant issue is something I’m still somewhat chasing, though I believe it was related to a poor fuel to air mixture that I corrected, as it has remained relatively steady since I completed work on it. I hope you can find out what’s wrong with your vehicle, surf some forums with a lot of different phrases; chances are someone else has had your symptoms.

@GetTheFO Жыл бұрын

Forgot to mention to check your fan clutch; if it’s gone bad it won’t engage and you won’t have additional assistance with airflow at a stop to help cool the engine bay. Very well may be a culprit with a used engine
