    Oil Pressure

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I was driving back from Canada about a week ago and was merging onto a highway where they were doing construction. While in the process of merging, i was run off the road by two truckers that weren't paying attention and as a result hit one of those orange construction cones with the right front fender (thankfully that was all i hit and there is no major visible damage). I pulled over immediately and took at the car and under it to make sure nothing was wrong. Everything looked fine so I continued on my way but about 15 miles later the oil pressure warning went off in the car. I pulled over, turned the engine off and check the oil level. All seemed fine. I continued on my way home and didnt have any issues.

    Just as i was thinking that the warning was some sort of an anomaly or glitch, i got the same oil pressure warning this past sunday on my way to a buddies house. I pulled over turned the engine off and checked again. All seemed fine. Does anyone know what could be attributing to this warning??

    do you know what caused your warning to come on and what they had to replace/fix?

    alot of hoses/tubes/t-bars or whatever they're called if u really want a list i have them in 2 pages.. my cause wasn't "sludge" but something with the pick up screen or whatver, but they had to clean it all up just in case.. thats what they told me anyway.
