Peugeot 301 oil pressure warning
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Peugeot 301 owner experienced an oil pressure warning light and a general warning light on the speedometer at 50,464 km. The suspected cause was oil contamination, but no leaks were found. Another owner suggested checking the oil filter, as a blocked or low-quality filter can affect oil pressure. Upon inspection, a clogged oil filter was identified as the issue, and replacing it resolved the problem, preventing potential engine damage.

So, you think a bad oil filter could be the problem? I've kept up with maintenance, but maybe the last oil change wasn't great. Did you have any other symptoms besides the warning lights?

The lights were the only symptoms, and the workshop confirmed the oil filter was the issue. Get yours checked soon to avoid engine damage.

You were right! The workshop found a clogged oil filter causing the oil contamination. A new filter and oil change, and it runs great. Cost 165€, but worth it to avoid engine damage. Thanks for the tip!

I had something similar happen on my 301. Did you check the oil filter? A blocked or low-quality filter can cause issues with oil pressure and trigger those warning lights.
