How does the oil light on a car work?
How does the engine know when it is low on oil and trigger the light?
Okay, I understand that it is a pressure thing. But I always thought when you add oil it just all get's sucked into the engine parts and none is stored. So are you all saying that the oil is stored in a container that has the pressure guage in it? And then it is released when the engine needs it?
oil is stored in the bottom of an engine .normally in a metal pressing called a sump pan.
this 'sump' will be the storage and return area for oil pumped around the engine.
when an engine is started there is no oil 'pressure'until it has turned over a few times, so you will notice an 'amber' light come on as you turn ignition on. This goes out shortly after the engine is cranked or 'started' as now the oil pump is producing oil pressure and pumping it around the engine.
If the amber light stays on it means there is insufficient oil pressure and you should switch off the engine to prevent damage and check oil levels.
if it comes on when running it means the engine is now running on an oil pressure so low engine damage can occur. stop as soon as possible (drive on low throttle and for a short distance only) and check oil level. if oil is IN sump and at a normal level do not drive the car but seek assistance ( a tow for a start).
the oil pressure is measured by a switch or sensor normally fitted near the oil pump or to the main oil gallery to activate the light to an 'OFF' situation when a pressure above a set point is seen by the gauge.
if the oil is a thin or low viscosity type it may 'flicker' at tickover and its best to get the actual pressure checked professionally to prevent engine failure.
note after a hard and fast burst of speed using high throttle settings or heavy engine loading the oil will get very hot and this has the effect of thinning the oil, thus lowering the pressure. It should not however ever illuminate the light at the end of a 'run'.
