    Low Oil Pressure

    Hi, I recently replaced an O2 sensor on my 2016 explorer. Ever since I swapped it I have been getting a low oil pressure warning when I am idling. Do you have any idea why? The check engine light is not on. Thank you, Bill

    2000 Explorer 4.0 SOHC oil pressure issues

    I've been banging my head on this one for a while now. A little background- I got this from my FIL a couple weeks ago.

    Low oil pressure light

    This is the second time this light has popped up. Oil levels are fine and engine maintains running smoothly. I’m thinking to start by replacing the oil pressure switch than move from there. Anyone have a location of where it’s at? Also if you have any experience with this I would love the feedback.

    My 1997 explorer sound's like a diesel engine rattling. What could be the possible cause?

    Has anyone heard of a 4.0 sohc oil pump screen getting plugged with sludge. Causing the engine rattling loudly all the time?

    2007 explorer oil light at low rpm

    I have a 2007 Ford explorer. The red oil light has been coming on at lower RPMs below 800 RPM. When I’m driving or rev the engine or go above 1000 RPMs the light goes out. I had just change my oil as well thinking that that may solve the problem. Any suggestions? I’m hoping it is not the oil...
