What Causes Low Engine Oil Pressure?
1 Answers
Low engine oil pressure is caused by clogged oil passages, damaged oil pump, faulty oil pressure sensor, excessively low oil viscosity, or problematic oil filter. Below are the reasons and solutions for low engine oil pressure: 1. Insufficient engine oil volume: This leads to little or no oil in the lubrication system, resulting in low oil pressure. Solution: Add oil. 2. Dirty or overly viscous oil: Dirty or thick oil prevents the oil pump from effectively drawing and circulating oil, causing low or no oil pressure. Solution: Change the oil.
