Oil pressure indicator

If the car has several owners and the mileage is high, it may happen that the oil warning light comes on at idle.

If the car has several owners and the mileage is high, it may happen that when the engine idles, the oil control lamp lights up.

This is a natural condition indicating high wear on the engine, especially the crankshaft and camshaft bearings. With the simultaneous appearance of symptoms such as loss of power, gas ingress into the crankcase and smoke from the exhaust pipe, the engine must be overhauled.

It is much worse if there is insufficient oil pressure in the new power unit. In this case, check the engine oil level. If it is too low, the pump may temporarily suck in air. If the engine is filled with the correct amount of oil and the lamp comes on, this indicates a malfunction that could damage the engine. In this case, you need to visit the service station.
