Acura RDX low oil pressure issue requiring repeated oil and spark plug changes on Acura RDX

Some Acura RDX owners report experiencing low oil pressure issues that necessitate frequent oil and spark plug changes. These problems can lead to severe consequences, such as engine seizing, especially if the engine is run while the oil pressure light is illuminated. Common causes of low oil pressure include a low engine oil level, which can trigger warning lights, a faulty oil pressure sensor that may be damaged or dirty, and a malfunctioning oil pump that fails to circulate oil adequately. Additionally, worn-out piston rings can contribute to this issue. Owners emphasize the importance of diagnosing the root cause of the low oil pressure before undertaking repairs, which may involve inspecting or replacing the oil pressure sensor or pump. Regular maintenance, including monitoring oil levels and promptly addressing leaks, is crucial to prevent further complications and potential engine damage from prolonged low oil pressure.
