Oil Maintenance Light
Oil Level Maintenance and Oil Warning Light
Typically this light will come on if your oil pressure is too low. Low oil pressure is serious and if you continue to drive with this light on, eventually your engine will seize or die.
To prevent car engine problems and the need for an emergency car service do not drive your car when you see this light come on.
Low oil pressure can be caused by a failed oil pump, a blocked oil filter or strainer in the sump, or by low oil levels – for example if your engine is burning oil.
Either way, you need to get it fixed, and fast. Low oil pressure has the potential to cause serious damage to the engine if not attended to promptly.
Regular servicing will assist in preventing damage to your engine and extending the useful service life of your engine. The choice of oil is also very important with modern cars requiring the application of specific or special oils.
To assist you with any oil queries for you car, call a professional service technician from our sponsors page to check your oil and lubrication system.
