Sprinter oil pressure light issue

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I had a similar scare with my Sprinter. The oil pressure light is never a good sign. It could definitely be the extended oil change interval causing oil sludge. Think of it like this: your engine oil is like the blood in your body, and the oil filter is like your kidneys. If you don't change the oil and filter regularly, the 'blood' gets dirty, and the 'kidneys' get clogged. Are you using the correct engine oil and oil filter type? And what about oil additives? Sometimes they can cause issues too. Check those first!

Thank you for your response. Can you elaborate on the specific issues you experienced and how you addressed them? Did you observe any particular symptoms besides the warning light?

Okay, so with mine, the oil pressure light would flicker, especially when the engine was warm and at idle. I was getting worried about potential engine damage. I'm no mechanic, so I took it straight to a workshop. They confirmed it was severe oil sludge due to infrequent changes and recommended a full oil change, new filter, and engine flush. Best to get yours checked out professionally before something expensive breaks!

I appreciate the advice. I took the vehicle to a workshop, and they confirmed the presence of oil sludge, likely caused by exceeding the maintenance interval. An oil change and new oil filter were performed. The total repair cost was 165€. Thank you again for your assistance.
