Oil Pressure

Recommended Posts

My oil light keeps coming on and i cant figure out why. I have checked the level and it doesn't appear to be loosing oil. The only things i could think of were that the sensor is faulty or that it is loosing oil into the water system but that also seems clear.

 

Any one know anything obvious i am missing?

check the state of the wires onto the oil pressure switches... they can fray or oxidise at the connector causing dodgy readings...

 

Otherwise, change the 2 oil pressure switches, they're not expensive and will rule them out of the problem... ;)
