Oil Light Flashing What does that mean?

  • The oil light flashing on the car is a result of low oil pressure. The reason is low engine oil, using wrong viscosity engine oil, partly clogged oil pan, failing oil pump, or faulty oil pressure switch.

    Hello. I've found our video helpful and I want to say thank you.
    Meanwhile I'm having a serious issue with my 2009 Lexus ES 350 and I'd like you to help. I woke up today, pushed start my car and the oil light didn't show on the panel.
    I'm having my engine oil to its normal level and the oil pressure switch looks okay underneath.
    I'd like to ask, what will be the cause of my cars engine oil light not coming up before start.

    Sir….mind helping me. As shown in your video, the pressure was the same after at 2,000 rpm. The pressue suppose to increase or not ? Thanks in advance

    • @cartechhome
      @cartechhome  ปีที่แล้ว

      When the engine speed is at 2000 rpm the discharge pressure should be approximately no more than 3 kg/cm^2, then as the engine speed increase to more than 2000 rpm, the discharge pressure should remain the same at approximately 3 kg/cm^2.

    When I’m driving my oil pressure light will flash on and off IF I start to lower speeds (hit the brake) when I step on the gas it goes away. When idle it will sometimes flash on and off or stay solid. I have oil is it the sensor?

    Hi, I realized that I poured too much oil, exceeding maximum, when I check the deep stick, it is three times to normal, now the oil light is flashing and the (Check engine sign/symbol) is on. I don't know if I reduce oil to normal, (will the 2 lights go off)?

    • @cartechhome
      @cartechhome  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      When oil is overfilled, it is stirred in the oil pan, and bubbles are generated, the bubbles spill over from the oil level gauge and the oil pump cannot suck enough oil, and this causes the engine to seize up. Keep the oil within the normal range.
