What is the reason for the oil pressure warning light turning off when accelerating?
1 Answers
The reasons why the oil pressure warning light turns off when accelerating: 1. Faulty oil pressure sensor: As an electronic component, when the sensor malfunctions, the oil light may illuminate. 2. Clogged oil filter: Some inferior oil filters may become blocked, and if their bypass function has insufficient flow, this can slow down oil circulation and cause insufficient oil pressure. 3. Oil pump failure: Generally accompanied by increased engine noise and illumination of the oil warning light. 4. Excessive oil viscosity or low oil pump pressure: Leading to insufficient oil pressure. Additional relevant information: Oil pressure: When the oil level falls below the engine's warning threshold, the oil pump cannot circulate sufficient oil, resulting in reduced oil pressure. It should be noted that some vehicles are designed with safety considerations in mind, intentionally setting the dipstick's lower limit higher. The dipstick's lower limit is merely a reference, and the actual warning level is lower than this limit. In other words, oil levels below the dipstick's lower limit do not necessarily trigger the oil warning light.
