There is only one thing to do when you see an oil light on: stop driving.

Motor oil is what keeps your engine’s valves, pistons and rods in good working order. Without that oil, your car can quickly turn into a several thousand pound paperweight with a large list of repairs attached to it. So when you see that light, pull off to the side. Stop driving, take your key out of the ignition, and then book a mechanic to properly diagnose the issue.

Common reasons for this to happen:

Oil level is low

Your vehicle may be burning or leaking oil.

Oil pressure sensor is malfunctioning

This part measures the oil pressure in your vehicle. If it has become detached, dirty, or has broken, your oil light may stay on. If your car’s oil gauge isn’t showing any oil pressure even though the engine didn’t making any noises, this could be the cause.

Oil pump needs to be replaced

Especially on older vehicles, oil pumps can gradually wear out which will result in a lack of oil pressure. This loss of oil pressure usually happens when a vehicle is idling or at a stop light.

What to expect:

A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to determine the source and cause of the oil pressure issue, and will then provide a detailed inspection report that includes the scope and cost of the necessary repairs.

How it's done:

This is an inspection service. Mechanic will identify the problem and make repair recommendations. If the engine oil is low, mechanic will add more oil during this inspection.

How important is this service?

Neglecting an oil pressure light could lead to severe car damage. Book a mechanic to perform a thorough inspection as soon as possible.

Oldsmobile 98 V6-3.8L - Oil Pressure Light is on - Houston, Texas
They just sent an email saying the mechanic is on his way. It is only 8:12 am! He is off to a good start. He is supposed to arrive between 9:00-9:30 am. He arrived well before that time! It was not 9:00 am yet! He did a diagnostic and he checked all the work I did. He said I did great work with everything I did. He said the car is very good shape. He said this car is indeed a runner! He checked everything. He checked all the fuses and relays too. He did a complete diagnostic too. He checked fuel pressure, oil pressure, and more. He found out what it was. It had nothing to do with oil pressure or anything. The fuel pump is going out. When he came the car started right up. He said they never go totally out. He said that is why it started when it did. He connected tools I do not have to the Ninety Eight. It is not getting any fuel pressure, and this is why it shut off all the times it did. He fixed one of the spark plug wires too. It was burnt. He jacked the Ninety Eight up and got underneath and checked the wires, the oil pressure sensor/switch and oil level sender for everything and the connections and made sure they have power and were installed correctly. He said the engine uses oil pressure along with the fuel pressure to start. The fuel pressure is non existent and that is why it would not start. After all of that, he looked at the Oldsmobile Toronado, my other car . He got the air conditioner to work again. He said the compressor bolt was loose and he tightened it up. He used this huge screw driver device and bent it back in place. He said the shims were loose and he bent them back. It cools just fine now. We turned it on and off several times testing it. He checked the pressure and it was filled with refrigerant. He checked the relays and the fan too. It was all fine. He said it is clear you take care of both of your cars. He said one thing I will not do is guess and I like to know what is indeed wrong. He said your cars are in good shape. He said you do not need valve cover gaskets. There is no leak. I booked him to return to install the fuel pump I need. I look forward to seeing him again soon in a few weeks. Today only cost me 70.00. That's it.

Oldsmobile 98 V6-3.8L - Oil Pressure Light is on - Houston, Texas
The mobile mechanic came. I must say I am impressed! He found my house. He and I started talking. He said he owned two Ninety Eights previously. He was there to look at my Oldsmobile Ninety Eight. He had two Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Touring Sedans. The ones he owned were from the 1987-1990 era. He was describing the floor shifters and they had and how much he liked Ninety Eights, Touring Sedans, and the Oldsmobile Eighty Eight LSS too. He talked about how a family member owned one and how he was fixing his. He talked in detail about the Touring Sedan and the things he loved. He asked me how long had I owned my Ninety Eight. I told him 2003. He told me how he become a mechanic and went to school for it and more. He got into the Ninety Eight and it would not start. He got out and disconnected the battery and rubbed the negative and positive battery terminals together. He reconnected them and the Ninety Eight started! The instrumentation then told him exactly what it was. There is a sensor at the bottom of the oil pan. He said by doing what he did with the terminals, it cleared the computer and reset it. We went underneath the car and he showed me the sensor. He said which one did you replace? I told him. He said you were on the right path. You know what you are doing. You need to replace this sensor and not the one you did. You can get the sensor and replace it because it is clear you know what you are doing and on the right path. He said you also need to replace your valve cover gaskets. They are leaking. I told him I will request him to come back and do that. I am not doing that even thought I can.
