HELP: "Low Oil Pressure. Turn Off Engine" at RPM X4000-5000
Guys,
Here is the deal : When driving above 90MPH (RPM X4000-5000) I get notice on the screen "Low Oil Pressure. Turn Off Engine" When it's less then RPM X4000-5000 the "notice" turn off and all is fine. Your ideas? Thanks for help! Last edited by BoloYang; 02-02-2024 at 11:17 AM. |

Is your oil pressure dropping when increasing engine rpm?

Have you checked your oil level? Sounds to me like the oil pump is sucking the pan dry at those elevated RPMs before the oil can return to the sump, which would be a symptom of low oil levels.

There could be an issue with the oil pump. Maybe there is a tooth broke in the gear. Or maybe your pick up tube is blocked.

I wouldn't push that car too hard because the engine is giving you signs that it's about to go bye-bye. Have a mechanic check your engine ASAP! Also, search this forum for previous owners who had the infamous "oil pump" issue with 2010 - 12 Camaros. Good luck! |

First should be to put a mechanical gauge on it to check pressures.

Ok, mine grenaded at 52k miles on my LS3 which exceeded the bumper 2 bumper warranty and the dealer (in Los Angeles, CA where I lived at the time) tried to deny me, and after getting GM involved, the PowerTrain warranty was invoked. I believe that you have an internal engine issue and it will cost you $$$ out of pocket if you don't have an aftermarket warranty that will cover it. Again, good luck!

I definitely agree, as said above I would manually check the pressures and then evaluate from there. Could be as simple as a bad sending unit or as catastrophic as impending engine failure. Either way definitely not something you want to let slide.
