Oil warning light

[Djerms]

Nag-on yung oil warning light sa panel gauge ko recently then nung pinalinis ko yung sensor sa may oil filter nawala for a week then today umilaw nanaman. I was thinking na oil sensor lang yung may prob kasi nga nung pinalinis ko nawala.

...But then theres the possibility na oil pump pero my car is a 2003 model mukhang hindi naman dapat right? I think kung oil pump dapat by now tinitik na ako right?

Pakurap kurap yung ilaw...

BTW do you guys know of a good brand of oil sensor?

did you check your Oil Level? coz if its low, then the Oil level/pressure warning light will turn on. makes sure the Oil level is full.


aite, peace.

yup bro check mo oil level mo saken wala akong sasakyan na 2000 up model pero di ko na expirience yung ganyan sitwsyon?

[speedlimit]

Kung pakurap kurap, it seems loosed lang ang terminal connector ng oil sensor. If not, replaced your oil sensor, it will just cost you a few hundred bucks.

baka mahina po yung bomba ng oil pump,check niyo po dapt pag bukas niyo ng oil cap my tatalsik na konting langis

Oil level is at max. I replaced the oil sensor with an 80 pesos replacement part. So far so good...hindi na umilaw ulit (except during initial tuning on of key to check if everything is okay). So this means sensor na nga siguro ang may problema.

I intend to replace the sensor nalang with original toyota sensor. Any idea how much this costs? Kung may kamahalan, ano ba ang magandang brand ng sensor? Im not that comfortable with my el cheapo sensor installed..hehe

oem temp sending unit was 1,700 six months ago.

oem radiator fan sensor was 4,300. a japan replacement cost only 750.

the above should more or less give you an idea.

[momoyster]

sensor lang nga yan pare

[Djerms]

Momoyster: Thanks. Looks like sensor nga lang. Chaka ko na papalitan ng orig pag nasira na ulit para naman sulit ang 80 petot ko. hehe

Dont settle for less or it gonna cost you more. Like our selves, sometimes you wont accept anything less value. Diba may kasabihan tayo minsan na "ano ako!!!!! cheap". So with your vehicle give the best and only the best and it take care of you for a long long time.

Tsk bumalik nanaman problema ko. Umilaw nanaman kahapon. Tingin ko may gunk na bumabara dun sa may sensor eh. Inside engine should be clean. Kasi minsan meron, minsan naman wala. Ganda naman ng takbo ng sasakyan, and ang tipid pa sa FC.

If its oil pump...dapat by now tirik nako? And nagfiflicker din ba yung light pag pump or steady lang?

[afrasay]

bili kana ng oem na sensor. ganyan din yun sa pajero ko, linis lang pirme ok na until i got tire of cleaning it and bought a new one, yun nga lang pang isuzu engine. pero oem naman.

[Galactus]

If its the oil pump, wala pang 30 mins. overheat ka na. Baka nga sensor lang.

sir, just replace your Oil Sending Unit with a brand new one from the Dealer (or anything OEM equivalent). and also, kung sira ang Oil Pump usually kakatok ang makina mo due to low oil pressure. but in your case, your Oil Pump should be OK. problema lang talaga ang sensor.. or even the wiring connector/plug that connects with it too.

Got it. sige will try to get oem first. Was worried baka full of gunk yung engine ko. Pero pacheck ko na rin kay speedyfix.

Thanks.

[momoyster]

mukhang di pa tapos ang process of elimination mo dyan sa warning light mo pare. replacing the sensor with an oem one is the first step. hope maayos na yang auto mo.

[speedyfix]

madami nga gunk yung engine... time to clean it out...

this is the 3rd altis in 2 months that we've had to clean out... something may be wrong with it since lots of them seem to be developing gunk.

[Djerms]

Speedyfix: Checked out other altis, engine is clean and no gunk formation found. I think it all boils down to following proper PMS.

Anyway, still convincing my dad to have it cleaned in your shop. Medyo hesitant yata kung hindi sa toyota ipapagawa (my dad's one of those casa believers). Maybe the cost of toyota will make him change his mind. Kagabi lang nagtatanung na about your shop. Ipaalala ko sa kanya ulit to have it scheduled.

Balitaan kita. Tnx.

[speedyfix]

no problem bro

[lhandzs]

Marami ng nangyaring ganyan meron pa ngang mas latest na model dyan, Kadalasan sa strainer ng oil pump nagbabara sobrang dami ng sludge. Yung oil pump siguradong walang problema kasi 2003 model lang kaya kailangan lang alisin ang oil pan pati na rin yung valve cover para malinis ng mabuti. Ipacheck na rin yung PCV system.
