Low oil pressure light ON , ano kaya ang problem

[macsd]

yung idiot light/oil pressure light ba e, nawawala kapag nag-rerev ka ng mataas? tapos imuilaw ulit kapag mababa or naka-idle ka? or is stays ON na talaga as in hindi nawawala while you drive? possible causes are
-defective oil pressure switch/sensor
-clogged oil filter (due to accumulated dirt)
-oil viscosity

another thing is? when do you have your last oil change? what is the viscosity of the oil that you use?

Thanks for the inputs mga bros. Yes it's always ON na even idle or rev up. I use full synthetic & still got 3,000 kms
to go before it reaches 10,000 kms which were i would normally do the change oil. Will bring it to service center after
the holidays as sarado pa sila ngayon. I think the rattling sound is not related as the engine is fine naman ang tunog.
It's probably coming from the auxilliary fan. Will check it later today doing isolation pag hindi na mainiit ang araw.

Would running the car do harm despite the oil pressure light is ON ?

Better check the cause of Low oil pressure. Magkaroon ng metal to metal contact sa crankshaft. Masisira or magasgas ang main bearing at crankshaft . Mahal pa machine shop ng sirang crankshaft or replacement.

is the warning lamp flickering like the stars..? the worst possible cause would be.. your crankshaft tolerances are so large, your oil pump can no longer keep oil pressure up.
translation: engine overhaul..
if you presist in using the vehicle, you may be increasing your overhaul expenses..

Thanks guys for all the inputs. I have parked the car until over the weekend.
Pahatak ko na lang going to repair shop come this Monday. Sabi nga ng iba
& sa manual, don't run the engine until properly diagnosed by service technician.
