First vehicle you've ever driven huh? I bet you get a lot more light's on what is called your instrument panel than just that oil can light.

OK, if you don't want to help, please don't reply. This forum should't be a place where someone make fun of other because he/she know more.

Well, of course your low oil pressure light will come on when the engine is not running. There isn't any oil pressure when the engine is off. A lot of other little colorful lights will come on when the engine isn't running, either. It's when the engine is running that you have to worry if the low oil pressure light comes on.

I suggest you read the owner's manual before you drive anymore. That explains a lot of features and functions of your vehicle. I still really think someone is just pulling a prank. No one could be this, ah, uninformed!

I read the mannal completely before ask. You may think this shouldn't be a question, but not for everybody.

Not everyone come to this Forum knows how everything works. I ask question because I believe people here are willing to help.

I also suggest Ford better put a little note in the User Manual about this "Low Oil Pressure" warning when engin is not running.

If I understand you correctly, when the "oil pressure low" warning comes on the engine is not running. Since the engine is not running, there would be zero (0) oil pressure since no oil is being pumped through the engine. When the engine is running, you get no warning about the oil. You get the warning only because the engine is not running. Perfectly normal. You will want to monitor your oil consumption as it is normal for a new engine to use a little oil when brand new until it gets broken in.

Thanks Hardhawk for your reply. I have 0 warry on my new Edge now.

2008 Edge Limited AWD, I paid around 32000 USD. May not good enough, but conside a Canadian shopping this car from the States...

Hi,

I got my 2008 Edge, AWD, Limited for about 2 weeks now. So far like it, the handle, driving and the brake is working very good. :yup:

There is a strange thing confuse me a lot:

When the engine is not start, under the Driver Controls. I did a System Check, it give me a warning: Oil Pressure Low.

But when the engine is start, I did a same test, no warning at all, everything is perfect. Also, the little Engine Oil light in the Instrument Cluster is not comming out when driving.

I checked the engine oil, it is within the range, but in the low end.

Should I warry about it?
