NoGamesJonze Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I was driving my wife's 07 Edge SEL 3.5L v6 and the oil light came on. I checked the oil and it was low but I had just had the oil changed two months prior and there were no leaks. I put in 5 quarts of oil and unplugged the battery to reset the fault lights. It's been two days and the oil light is still on and when I do a system Check it says low oil pressure. Can anyone help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Oil pressure is not oil level. Don't drive it until you verify whether you actually have low oil pressure. It could be the oil pressure sensor. If the sensor is ok then it could be the oil pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoGamesJonze Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Thanks for the response. I verified the oil level after I topped it off and then again earlier today. My oil level is good so I guess it might be the sensor or the pump. Is it dangerous to drive right now? It's our only mode of transportation. Any suggestions as to why the oil went low with no visible leaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 If it's the sensor it won't hurt anything. If it's the pump you can destroy the engine. Only way to know for sure is to check the actual pressure. I wouldn't recommend driving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 You need gauges and adapters. You really need to have it towed to a mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
