Problem overview

Some Oldsmobile Aurora owners report experiencing issues with the oil pump pressure light illuminating and a lack of oil pressure following an oil change. These concerns may stem from incorrect oil levels or improper oil change procedures, which can lead to oil pressure problems. Additionally, a faulty or improperly installed oil pressure sensor may provide inaccurate readings, necessitating inspection or replacement. Some owners find that a malfunctioning oil pump or a clogged oil filter contributes to low oil pressure, emphasizing the importance of using the correct oil filter and ensuring it is not obstructed. Furthermore, using the wrong oil viscosity can adversely affect oil pressure. Underlying mechanical issues, such as clogged oil passages or worn engine components, may also require professional attention. If the oil pump pressure light persists, it is recommended that owners consult a qualified mechanic to prevent potential engine damage.
