Citroen Nemo Oil Pressure Light
Summary of the thread
A 2010 Citroen Nemo is experiencing intermittent oil pressure warning lights, despite normal oil levels. The issue may be due to oil contamination, possibly from exceeding the recommended service interval. A suggested solution is to take the car to a workshop for an oil change, new oil filter, and engine flush, which resolved the problem in a similar case.

When you mention 'funky,' could you elaborate on the specific color and consistency you observed? And how long had it been since your last oil and filter change when you noticed the issue?

Okay, 'funky' as in DARK. Real dark. Like, used coffee grounds mixed with syrup. And thick. Thicker than normal oil should be. I'm no mechanic, but it didn't look good, and that oil pressure light freaked me out. I think I was maybe a thousand kilometers overdue on the oil change. I'd take it to a workshop if I were you; don't want to risk messing up the engine!

Based on your feedback and the symptoms, I've decided to bring the car to a workshop. The mechanic confirmed the oil contamination due to exceeding the maintenance interval. The repair, including an oil change, new oil filter, and engine flush, came to 165€.

I had a similar problem with my Citroen Nemo. The oil looked kinda funky, a weird color, not the usual golden brown. It was like chocolate milk, if chocolate milk had glitter in it – that's the oil sludge I'm talking about. Did you check the oil color? Does it look normal, or does it look...off? Also, have you changed the oil filter recently?
