DDifficulty 2/5

With the engine running, the red low-oil-pressure warning remains on, outside the instrument panel’s initial check. What does it warn of?

Correct answer

There is low pressure in the circuit.

It warns of insufficient lubrication pressure, although the warning system itself could also be faulty. Stop as soon as safely possible and switch off the engine to prevent damage. Do not continue merely because the level appears correct: low pressure and low level are different indications. Follow manufacturer checks and seek assistance if unresolved; do not keep the engine running to investigate.
