Motor oil level, and Motor oil Pressure**************************************If that looks OK, try www.vehix.com
Add oil.
Low oil or a faulty oil level senser
The oil light is a red warning light that is telling you that the engine oil pressure is low or non-existent and to stop. Severe engine damage will occur if you continue to drive the vehicle. I would suspect you have already done serious damage to this engine. It is not accelerating very well because it is dying from a lack of lubrication. Remember RED means STOP.
You had better stop and let the engine cool down. Then find out why the oil is overheating.
Could be incorrect oil for the engine, Faulty oil pressure sending unit, Engine is idling to low in drive, Engine has worn bearings, Engine has worn oil pump,
my oil light is flickering on 02 ford tourus it has oil what could it be? The shop told me they needed to replace the exhaust gas pressure sensor,the problem was fixed!
Low oil pressure = Oil pressure has dropped, STOP Check engine = Problem with the emission's system. Temperture = Engine overheating, STOP Maintence required = Some sort of maintence is due, normally Oil/Filter change.
No, oil level does not cause the check engine light.
If the oil light means that you have lost all the oil, then the engine has probably siezed up through lack of lubrication. Expensive repair.
The check engine light does not generally have anything to do with the check oil light. The oil light just indicated it is time to change the oil, while the engine light indicates a problem.
Do not run the engine until you have checked oil level, sounds like you are very low on oil.
