Peugeot Partner Oil Pressure Warning
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Peugeot Partner diesel with 18,629 kilometers displayed a warning light and oil pressure lamp, potentially due to contaminated engine oil. The oil appeared darker than usual, suggesting the maintenance interval might have been exceeded. This can lead to sludge buildup, restricting oil flow and potentially damaging the engine. The recommended solution was to consult a workshop for an oil change and filter replacement, which resolved the issue.

Could you elaborate on the 'serious problems' that might arise from an exceeded maintenance interval? Did you experience similar oil color changes with your Renault Megane, and if so, what steps did you take to resolve it?

Well, with the Megane, leaving it too long caused sludge buildup, which restricts oil flow and can damage the engine. The oil was practically black. I'd strongly recommend getting it checked by a workshop. An oil change might fix it, but they can also check for any lasting damage.

I took your advice and consulted with a workshop. They confirmed the contamination was indeed due to an exceeded maintenance interval. The repair, including an oil change and filter replacement, cost 165€. Thanks again for your help.

Hey, I had a similar issue with my old Renault Megane! Same symptoms, warning light and oil pressure lamp. Dark oil is definitely not a good sign; it means it's full of contaminants. When was your last oil change? It really does sound like the maintenance interval has been exceeded, and that can cause serious problems. Worth checking ASAP.
