When the oil pump pressure is insufficient, it can lead to inadequate lubrication of engine components, resulting in increased friction and wear. This can cause overheating and potential engine damage, such as seizing or bearing failure. Additionally, warning lights may illuminate on the dashboard, indicating low oil pressure and prompting immediate investigation to prevent severe engine issues. Regular maintenance and monitoring of oil levels and pump functionality are crucial to avoid these problems.

Why does the Oil pressure in your 1995 camaro drop when you come to a stop?

If the oil level is too low this can happen. However, the oil pump, in the oil pan, could be going bad. At higher RPM the pump creats enough force, but at idle is doesn't. Check you oil level first, then look into the pump. Before going to far have a shop install an external oil pressure gauge and check the pressure. It may only be an oil pressure switch that is bad.
