Mercedes B Klasse Hybrid Oil Pressure Issue

My 2022 Mercedes B Klasse hybrid with 90376 km has an engine oil pressure warning light and loud mechanical noises. Diagnostics suggest a possible oil pump defect. Has anyone else experienced this issue with this engine? Could it be oil pump failure, or something like a faulty oil pressure sensor or oil leakage? I recently did an oil change, using the correct engine oil type as specified by Mercedes.

That sounds familiar. I have a B Klasse too. Had a similar problem a while back: oil pressure light. Did you check for oil leakage before thinking it's the oil pump? And after the oil change, is the oil level correct? Did you use genuine Mercedes engine oil? It could be something simple, or maybe not...

I inspected the engine bay for oil leakage, but found none. The engine oil level is within range. I didn't use genuine Mercedes engine oil, but a high-quality synthetic oil that meets Mercedes specifications. Could the non-genuine engine oil be a factor, or is oil pump failure more likely?

No oil leakage and the oil level is fine. Generic oil shouldn't cause it that fast, but who knows? I'm leaning towards oil pump failure, especially with those noises. I'd get it to a workshop ASAP. If it is the oil pump and it fails completely, you're looking at serious engine damage. It's not worth the risk.

I took the car to a mechanic. They confirmed the oil pump was defective and needed replacement. The repair cost was 755€ Thank you again for your help.
