Arkana Oil Pressure Light

Hi, I have a 2021 Renault Arkana with a gasoline engine and 47680 km. A warning light appeared on the speedometer, and the oil pressure light is now on. Could this be related to oil contamination? The maintenance interval was exceeded.

Hey! I had a similar scare with my Renault Megane. Is the oil looking sludgy or a weird color? What about the oil filter – when was the last time you changed it?

Thanks for the reply! I haven't checked the oil color yet, but the oil filter hasn't been changed for a while. Could an old filter really cause oil contamination?

Yep, a clogged filter can definitely lead to contamination and low oil pressure. That was the culprit with my Megane. You should take it to a workshop ASAP. Driving with low oil pressure can seriously damage the engine.

Thanks a lot! You were right, I took it to the workshop, and it was indeed due to the delayed maintenance. The oil and filter change, plus some additives to clean the engine, cost me 165€. Appreciate the help!
