AMG GT Oil Pressure Issue

My 2021 Mercedes AMG GT with a gasoline engine is giving me trouble. It has 109415 km. The oil pressure warning lamp is on, and I'm hearing some nasty mechanical noises from the engine. The oil level is fine. Could this be a bad oil pump? I've heard a clogged oil filter can cause low oil pressure, but I just replaced it. I'm using the correct oil viscosity, so that shouldn't be it. Has anyone else had similar low oil pressure issues? Is the oil pressure sensor faulty, or is it something worse?

Low oil pressure on an AMG GT is never a good sign. Did you check the oil pressure gauge? I had a similar issue on my AMG GT, loud mechanical noises and the warning light. Was your oil pressure reading erratic, or consistently low?

The oil pressure gauge seemed to fluctuate before the light came on solid, but yes, generally low. What caused your issue? Was it the oil pump?

Yes, it was a failing oil pump. Considering the symptoms and the fluctuating oil pressure, it's likely the same issue. Get it checked by a professional to avoid further damage.

Thanks for the insight. I took it to the workshop, and you were right the oil pump was the problem. Repair cost was 755€. I appreciate the help!
