Bad oil pump?or if no other odd noises maybe a faulty thermostatic oil temp control valve above oil filter(when the engine is up to temp. feel the oil cooler rad. in front of the main radiator to check hot oil is moving through.)
I have 2.2 DTi Frontera diesel can anyone where the OIL PRESSURE SWITCH IS ?? rifinlay@btinternet.com. 01968674186
If the oil light only comes on when the engine is hot and on idle look at your oil pressure gauge to see if the needle is going down to the low end of the scale if so give it a service and make sure you use 10w 40oil reccomended for frontera and you can put in slick50 or other engine oil additive this will increase your oil pressure and stop the light coming on
if its a frontera 'a' , on the 2.2 engine (with code x22xe) its an integral part of the oil filter housing and sadly, only on this engine, its not a cheap fix as i found out to my expense ( as i own a fronty with this engine ! ) the whole asembly is around £130 and you have to buy the complete unit. if its a oil pressure problem your having, then try changing/cleaning the relief valve first
your oil pump could be on the way out also check the oil pick up it could be blocked due to lack of oil changes Answer 2: If the oil pressure guage reads ok, then it is an electrical problem.
Answeroil sending unit needs replaced Remove and clean the connections with switch cleaner. (not WD40) Then refit and try.
if its a diesel 2.3 then its 5.5 lts

All the petrol frontys not sure about diesel have a problem with the oil relife valve clogging it just needs cleaning out luckily these are easy to get to just to the right of the oil filter it's a big nut size 24 if a remember correctly
