Technical Insufficient Oil Pressure Warning Message

[The Panda Nut]

Agreed. Check it, as this is normal only if you stall.

I only get this if from from a cold start I start the engine without the low fuel light going out and the engine turns over without starting turn key to off turn till all power is on and fuel light goes out then start engine

Hello all,

On Friday I collected a black 58 plate Bravo 1.6 Multijet Dynamic Eco 105 and I absolutely love it. However, I have noticed something that I thought I'd ask about. Whenever I fire it up from cold, a message pops up accompanied with a beep in the multifunction display screen saying "insufficient engine oil pressure" then "switch off engine" or words to that effect. It only says this once for about a second, then it disappears as if nothing was ever shown. It only happens when the car has been standing a few hours, it starts up without issue otherwise.

The car drives without a hint of bother, it doesn't feel rough, there's no warning lights and nothing seems untoward. I've checked the oil and it's just below the max (it was last serviced in April according to the history at 47k, its done 55k now), so that probably rules low oil level out. The car is under a months warranty so I'll speak to the dealer I bought it from asap, but I just wondered if anyone had any ideas as to what could be wrong with it?

Regards,
Kieran

Have you checked the oil level?

My 1.3 multijet said the same was the previous services that were not done with the dpf and oil reset and the car i think it was consuming more oil , i did a new service with multiecuscan resets and is now fine ever since been 3k kms done already and no messages hope it helps

I have the same problem and i have done a oil change twice since I have the problem but it didnt help. I have the problem for year and a half and everything is working perfectly with my car. I have 300k on my car and have removed the DPF and the EGR so I think it cant be nothing related with that.

JTD Performance have an upgrade for the sump which fixes this problem across all Fiat Group diesels.

Oil pump seal modification JTD/TBi - JTD Performance

In the factory design, the oil pickup pipe located in the oil pan is sealed to the oil pump with an axially pressed rubber piece. After years of usage, this seal will start to leak, decreasing the oil pressure feeding the engine, especially during a cold start. At the Giulia and Stelvio 2.2 JTD it

I have just ordered one for my 2010 Bravo 2.0 16v 165

TLR: Anti-drain back valve failed, change your oil filter to a good quality one asap!
I'd like to share my experience with a Ridex oil filter. After less than 5000kms, it started doing the same thing. First it was only after sitting for a day, then 12 hours, then it got to a point where if I shut the car off for just a few hours, there would be no oil pressure on startup for a few seconds (not enough to get the message, though). I guess the anti-drain back valve failed. Two days ago I switched to a Mann-Filter oil filter, the car sat for 44 hours and when I started it today there was oil pressure instantly. This is definitely not healthy and causes unnecessary wear to your engine.
