Why is the engine oil pressure too low?
1 Answers
Causes of low engine oil pressure: wear of the oil pump, or wear or foreign objects in the pressure relief valve; insufficient oil storage; oil becoming dirty or viscous during prolonged operation; excessive wear of components, large clearance of camshaft bearings; malfunction of the oil sensor, pressure gauge, or circuit; significant issues with the oil sensor, pressure gauge, or circuit, etc. Here is additional information: Solution: If the oil becomes dirty or viscous due to prolonged operation, preventing the oil pump from smoothly drawing in and pumping out the oil, leading to low oil pressure. First, clean or replace the oil pump, then replace the vehicle's oil with new oil. After replacement, ensure oil quality and strictly adhere to maintenance standards for upkeep.
