Avventura oil pressure light and engine noise

My 2015 Fiat Avventura gasoline, 241689 km, oil pressure light is on and the engine is making loud mechanical noises. No external oil leaks. I suspect the oil pump. Could low oil viscosity be a factor, or is the pump the likely cause? Any diagnostic tips before I dig in?

Sounds familiar. I had something similar with my Avventura. Is the noise constant, or does it change with the engine speed?

The noise changes with engine speed, louder as RPMs increase, especially when accelerating. I'm thinking about checking the engine bearings too. Did your issue sound like this before you found the problem?

Yep, pretty much the same. I'd advise you to just get it checked at a workshop, it's likely the oil pump like you said. Best to be safe.

I took your advice and consulted a technician. It was the oil pump. Replacement, including labor, cost 755€. Thanks for confirming my thoughts.
