What causes abnormal oil pressure in the Superb?

[DiAniyah]

Here are the specific reasons for abnormal oil pressure in the Superb: Low oil pressure: This can damage the engine's lubrication conditions, leading to poor lubrication, cooling, and cleaning, which may cause adhesive wear on components. Excessive clearance between the crankshaft main journal and connecting rod journal and bearings, low oil viscosity, and a ruptured filter element can all result in low oil pressure. High oil pressure: Although less common, this can also disrupt normal lubrication conditions. Causes include excessive oil viscosity, oil deterioration and gumming, clogged filter element and oil passages, improperly adjusted or stuck pressure relief valves. Excessive oil consumption: The normal oil consumption ratio to gasoline is 0.5-1. Anything above 1 is abnormal. Besides oil leaks, the main cause of excessive oil consumption is oil burning. Primary reasons include: excessive clearance between pistons and cylinder walls; severely worn or insufficiently elastic piston rings; excessively worn valve guides; damaged valve stem seals. Using Sinopec's Engine Super Repair Agent can significantly improve piston ring sealing, repair worn internal components, and reduce oil consumption.

I once experienced an oil pressure warning while driving my Superb. That time on the highway, the warning light kept flashing non-stop, which really scared me. Upon inspection, I found the engine oil level was extremely low – probably due to neglecting regular maintenance checks or a potential oil pump issue blocking oil flow. Later at the repair shop, the mechanic said the oil filter was clogged too tightly and the oil pressure sensor wasn't reading accurately. They fixed it by replacing both components. You should never ignore such abnormalities – forcing the engine to run like this causes severe wear, shortens engine life, and leads to costlier repairs. My advice: always keep a spare bottle of oil in your trunk and never skip scheduled oil changes. Safety should always come first.
