As you probably know, oil pressure is the force that pushes oil through the engine. If your oil pressure is low, it could be due to a variety of factors. Here are some of the most common causes:
1. Worn out engine bearings - Over time, engine bearings can wear out and no longer provide a tight seal. This can cause oil to leak past the bearing and into other areas of the engine, resulting in low oil pressure.
2. Dirty oil - If your oil isn't clean, it can't do its job properly. Sludge and debris can clog up passages and prevent oil from flowing freely, leading to low pressure.
3. Thinned out oil - Oil thins out over time as it breaks down and loses its viscosity. This makes it harder for it to lubricate all of the moving parts in your engine, which can lead to increased friction and lower pressure.
4. Pump failure - The pump is responsible for circulating oil throughout the engine. If it fails or starts to wear out, it won't be able to do its job properly, resulting in low pressure.
5.) Leaking seals - Over time, seals
