Im fairly certain its low oil pressure

I think red is DANGER low oil pressure, orange is warning low oil level. I would not run the engine if the oil pressure is low.

Did you screw the sump plug back in before replacing the oil!?

thanks for the help every 1

Mines doing the same, as is my mates, what could be the cause of low oil pressure?

I've merged another 4 threads into this one, so it may read a little oddly.

Please avoid posting multiple threads on the same subject as it only serves to confuse everyone.

Was the oil filter cap refitted properly?

Sometimes if the filter is tight in the cap and you pull it out a part of the cap with the valve in it might stay with the filter. The new filter will go into the cap with the valve missing but could cause oil pressure issues.

Just a thought.

Faulty oil pressure sensor?

Either way you need to verify the oil pressure.

thanks every1, keep us posted, d day 2morrow

well cars fixed, first i changed the oil pressure switch, which then made the red oil come 10 fold, then cheacked the oil filter, the small rubber ring that goes on the bottom of the oil filter was not replaced, my fault for gettin things done by neighbours on the cheap, thanks everyone 4 ur help and am now gonna be a regular user of the site and try n help you,s boy n girls as well, thanks mick

Same effect as what I mentioned then, oil filter doesn't hold oil in, just drains direct down to the sump.

yeah m8 thanks 4 he help
