Скачать или смотреть Why Is The Oil Light Flashing?

A flashing oil light typically signals low oil pressure, most often caused by low oil level, a faulty pressure sensor, clogged oil filter or pickup screen, worn engine components, failing oil pump, or degraded oil. It’s a serious warning that can lead to severe engine damage if ignored. If the light comes on, you should immediately pull over, shut off the engine, and check the oil level and condition—adding oil if low and inspecting for leaks or strange noises. Driving with low pressure, even briefly, can cause catastrophic failure, so unless you're certain it's a sensor issue and the engine sounds normal, it's safest to tow the vehicle. Preventive maintenance, including regular oil changes with the correct viscosity and periodic oil pressure checks, is key to avoiding these issues.
