Why does your oil light come on on your daewoo nubira 1999 if you already have oil in?

The light means low oil pressure. It can be you installed the wrong filter or the filter is defective. It can mean the oil pressure sending unit is defective and it can also mean the oil pump is failing.


I seem to have excessive oil pressurewhich causes oil to blow out around the oil filter What would cause this?

Some oil filters have a check valve in them. Perhaps you have the wrong filter on the car? Your car may not take the filter with the check valve. Also check to see if someone who did the oil change didn't leave the old oil filter rubber ring on the housing and then installed the new filter on top.
