Low Oil Pressure
Oil pressure is affected by oil temperature, oil
viscosity, and engine speed. Low oil pressure can
usually be traced to the lack of oil, a faulty oil
pressure regulating valve, or worn bearings. Low
oil pressure is not normally caused by a faulty oil
pump. Use the following “Low Oil Pressure Flow
Chart” to help diagnose low oil pressure.
