Any sort of air leakage in the supply side of the oil pump will also cause cavitation (back pressure) and loss of oil pressure. The engine builder should check the supply side of the oil pump and make any necessary repairs. [links]
An oil line or oil passage that is open, broken or disconnected will cause low engine oil pressure. The engine builder should check each oil passage for debris and wear. Sometimes oil galleries can be out of alignment where the holes are not lined up correctly to allow normal oil flow. Check that the oil lines are hooked up properly and that there is not a tear in the line. here
Fuel or coolant in the oil will cause low engine oil pressure. Excess fluids in the oil consequently will cause high oil levels in the crankcase. High oil levels in the crankcase will generally always point to excessive fluid leaking somewhere else in the engine. Common contaminants include diesel fuel, coolant, or water. The engine builder will then have to determine the source of the fluid leak and make appropriate repairs. After the source of the contamination is found and fixed the oil should be drained and refilled with the approved grade of oil. It is also recommended to change the oil filter. Sometimes the low oil pressure is due to something so small as a clogged oil filter. more
An open lubrication system could also be caused by a piston cooling nozzle that is missing or damaged. Piston cooling nozzles direct engine oil towards the bottom of the piston in order to cool the piston. These nozzles also provide lubrication for the piston pin. Incorrect installation, restriction of normal movement or breakage of the piston cooling nozzlescould result in the seizure of the piston itself. here
If the engine oil bypass valvesare set in the “Open” position, it can result in lower engine oil pressure. The cause of open bypass valves is usually debris in the engine oil. Debris could be dirt or metal shavings from internal damage from one of the internal hard parts (camshaft, crankshaft, pistons etc…) The solution to this issue is to remove each oil bypass valve and clean out any dirt or debris. It is also wise to clean each bypass valve bore. Once the bypass valves are cleaned the oil should be changed as well as the oil filter. here
There is an inlet screen in the oil suction tube which can get clogged or damaged. This restriction will cause cavitation and a loss of engine oil pressure. The solution is to check the inlet screen on the oil pickup tube and remove any material that may be restricting oil flow. Low engine oil pressure may also come from the oil pickup tube not sitting properly and drawing in air vs. oil. Check the joints of the oil pickup tube for cracks, alignment or a damaged O-Ring seal. The best way gain access to the oil pickup tube is by removing the oil pan. [links]
if you do have proper oil level as measured at the dipstick and are not losing oil externally (thru a faulty drain plug or bad line or thread on your oil filter etc ) it may be time to suspect the pump operation. without a volvo manual handy it would be hard to hazard a guess about why sufficient oil pressure isn't being developed. [links]
even without a gauge reading to measure oil pressure, the low pressure alarm says you have insufficient pressure coming from your oil pump to allow safe operation of the engine. have you noticed a big increase in the amount of oil you are using ? if so that points to a possible loss of oil volume. not enough oil in the system makes the oil pump work a lot harder and NSF oil can make a perfectly good pump unable to develop enough pressure to keep the 'low oil pressure sensor' from alerting. here
I have a Volvo Penta 2002 BT 18 hp inboard. Recently the oil light & buzzer came on as soon as the engine was turned over. I checked oil levels and all ok, i then had the oil pressure switch tested and it was ok. I took the oil filter off and turned the engine over and was hit in the chest with oil. I put a new filter on and the oil light remained on, i then loosened the filter a bit and the oil light went off but when the filter is tightened again on came the oil light and buzzer. Anybody ever heard of this and any possible causes / solutions? more
not enough oil pressure can be like cardiac arrest for your engine so nothing to ignore. let us know what you find meanwhile i'll check around for a spare volvo manual.. here
