Change the oil filter NOW!

Can you hear any bearing rattle when you blip engine from inside bonnet? If so oil pressure IS low and dirty filter is possible cause

How dirty is your oil? Is it serviced regularly?

hey mate ,

you recon oil filter ?
it sounds fair average, like it always has yea its serviced reg
last 1 was at 175,000km its only on 185,000km next scheduled one at 195,000
?

Faulty oil pressure switch. It happens. Not likely to be oil filter, as it has a bypass valve to allow oil to still flow when the filter is blocked. If the oil pressure switch was accurately reporting low oil pressure, your motor would be FUBAR anyway.

20,000Km between oil changes is way too much! Unless you do long highway trips and knock up 20,000 Km in 6 months and run a really good oil like Mobil 1 (or any other synthetic), I'd change it more often.

sweet as... they easy to change yr self ? and yeah ill start changing it more often,,, and you think your cars all good when you service it at a mitsubishi dealership hahaha :S

Your faith in Mitsubishi dealership mechanics is admirable.

The oil pressure switch is under the car near the oil filter I believe.

hahaha ! ohh give me a break was my old mans n he took it there !..... still getting used too a non commodore alight ! haha ;) ... thanks heaps for the help guys ill let yous know how i go haha

hey guys thanks for the help

just finished putting the new switch in run better and the light is off
