When the oil light is illuminated, it is time to act. The oil warning light can signal something more than a need for an oil change. Poor oil pressure is a leading cause of engine death. For answers, bring your car to Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center. For complete car repair Saugerties NY, start with our online scheduler.
The Indicator
When the indicator comes on, it is telling you that your oil pressure has reached a dangerously low level. What is causing the problem? It could be a clogged oil filter, a problem most common in cars where the oil isn't changed at the recommended intervals. It could be dirty oil that can't circulate. If you go to a drive-through oil change place, you won't get real answers. You need an experienced technician's help. Schedule an appointment at Prestige.
Oil Pump
Your oil pump is responsible for maintaining the correct pressure. If the problem isn't with the fluid itself or a filter, then it may be the pump. Of course, it may be a leak, which could be coming from numerous places within the engine. An experienced technician can get to the root of the problem and put the system right again. 
Time is Key
Keep in mind that you must act quickly. Oil is the life-blood of the engine. If parts are not lubricated, then the engine will grind to a halt. This will lead to much more serious issues than an oil leak or pump replacement. It may mean costly repairs or premature engine death.
