00:15and what can you do to get rid of this light? Let's find out.

00:23Volkswagen Oil Light Illumination Reasons and Fixes

00:26Oil light of your VW can start flashing due to any of the following reasons.

00:34Reason 1 Engine Oil Level Going Down

00:40This is perhaps the most obvious reason for the oil pressure light to light up in a car.

00:45Oil level may go down either due to leakage or high consumption rate.

00:50Solution. Check for the source of the leak. Check the piston rings, gaskets, and seals.

00:57Upon the detection of the leak, fix it immediately.

01:002 Got a Clogged Oil Filter

01:06Oil pressure that is considered ideal is within the range of 25 to 65 PSI.

01:11A clogged filter can cause your vehicle's oil pressure to fall outside the above limits.

01:16As a result, the oil light may come on.

01:19Solution. Evaluate the condition of the oil filter. If it has reached its saturation limit, replace it.

01:28Free Broken Oil Pump

01:34Centrifugal force generated by the pump plays a critical role in oil circulation.

01:39A faulty pump may trigger a domino effect, causing the oil pressure to drop. This will prompt the oil light to come on.

01:49Solution. The fuel pump is the heart of a vehicle engine lubrication system. Make sure yours never gives up.

01:564 Clogged Oil Passages

02:02Accumulation of unwanted particles may block oil passages.

02:08This can cause oil pressure to fluctuate erratically and the oil light to come on.

02:12Solution. Clean out your engine oil passages. The only solution.

02:205 Not changing the oil regularly.

02:25So, you haven't changed your VW's oil for quite a while.

02:31This may prompt the oil pressure light to illuminate.

02:36Solution. Change your VW's oil as per the recommendation given in the Owner's Manual.
