Elantra Hybrid Oil Pressure Warning
Summary of the thread
A 2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid displayed an oil pressure warning light, despite the oil level being adequate, though the oil appeared sludgy and dark. This suggests possible oil contamination, likely due to exceeding the maintenance interval. The recommended solution involved an oil change, oil filter replacement, and engine flush, which resolved the issue. Adhering to regular maintenance schedules is advised to prevent recurrence.

Engine noise seems normal, and fuel consumption hasn't really changed. But the warning lights are definitely concerning. How did you resolve your issue? Was it just an oil change?

The symptoms you describe align with my past experience. I strongly advise against operating the vehicle under such conditions. Seek assistance from a qualified technician. In my case, an oil change, replacement of the oil filter, and an engine flush were necessary to completely resolve the issue. Adhere to the recommended maintenance intervals in the future to prevent this from happening again.

That’s really helpful. I appreciate the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were spot on – oil change, new filter, and flush did the trick. Cost me 165€. Lesson learned about sticking to those maintenance schedules!

I also own a Hyundai Elantra, though a different build year. I experienced similar symptoms some time ago – the oil pressure warning lamp illuminated, and the oil appeared to be contaminated. Has the vehicle's performance been affected, specifically any noticeable changes in engine noise or fuel consumption?
