Low Oil Pressure Warning

[JWeigel]

Anyone ever get this?



I was driving back from NM to ND. Somewhere in the middle of SD while dropping into a valley of one of the river crossings I got this warning. Truck limited power. Cruise on 70 which had been for the last several hours.

Truck has 32K miles on it. I run Mobil 1 ESP 0W30. Awesome oil analysis with very little wear.

Ironically, I have the My Guage set to show oil pressure in the bar graph and it was generally running 29psi when coasting down a hill.

I stopped, shut the engine off. Checked (flashlight) for any signs of oil leak - none. Quick check of the dipstick, it was full. Started up and cautiously proceeded for a few miles. Everything appeared back to normal. Finished the trip. Checked the dipstick before starting the next AM and oil looked new (as expected) and was at the full mark.

???

In over 2 million miles of light truck driving, I have never had a low oil pressure warning.

Do you have any mods?

Ford Performance Tune and AFE CAI with Pro Dry Filter.

Nothing else.

Can't comment on the issue at hand but that's an excellent choice for motor oil. I recently made the switch to it.

You said you have your oil gauge set to show actual pressure, instead of just a meaningless bar showing that there is "some" oil pressure. I've hated this since I got my '24 Raptor. Is this an instrument panel setting I've missed, or did you change this using FORScan software?

You should read the codes I bet you have a baro code along with oil pressure going to 0
