Nissan Caravan Oil Pressure Warning

I'm having trouble with my 2021 Nissan Caravan, gasoline engine. The speedometer warning light comes on too often, and the oil pressure light is also on. Performance seems fine, but I'm worried. The engine oil looks darker than it should at only 42156 kilometers. Could this be oil sludge or something worse?

I also have a Nissan Caravan. I remember that once the oil pressure light came on in my car too. I'm no expert, but I would check the oil level first.

Did your vehicle show early oil degradation, like the strange oil color I'm seeing? What made your oil pressure light come on? I'm worried about engine damage.

Well, I'm not sure about the oil color. I just topped up the oil and it was fine again. But I think it's better to get it checked at a workshop, just to be safe.

I took your advice and saw a mechanic. They confirmed my fears: I waited too long for maintenance, and the oil is contaminated, causing low oil pressure. An oil change and filter replacement will cost about 165€. I'll stick to the maintenance schedule from now on.
