I recently bought a Vauxhall Mokka and noticed that the engine oil light is constantly on. I checked the oil level and it seems to be at the right level. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?
ReplyThere could be a few different reasons for the engine oil light to stay on in your Vauxhall Mokka. One possibility is that the oil pressure sensor is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that there is an oil leak somewhere in the engine, causing the oil level to decrease faster than normal. I would recommend taking your car to a mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.
First, try checking the oil pressure switch. It could be dirty or faulty, causing the light to stay on. If that doesn't work, check for any visible oil leaks underneath the car. If you can't find any, it's possible that there is an internal leak in the engine which will require further inspection by a professional mechanic.
In addition to the possible causes mentioned by others, it's also important to make sure you are using the correct type of engine oil for your Vauxhall Mokka. Using the wrong type or low quality oil can also trigger the engine oil light. Refer to your owner's manual for the recommended oil and make sure to have it changed regularly.
