Lubricating oil plays a very important role in car engines, not only lubricating and protecting parts but also directly affecting the operation and life of the engine.
What is the phenomenon of high oil pressure?
The engine oil is always pumped to the parts and friction surfaces for lubrication and protection, so the oil inside the engine is always maintained at a certain pressure range.
When the engine is cold, the oil pressure on the gauge will be high, but when the engine is running, the oil pressure will decrease. If the gauge does not change when the engine is running, then according toexperienceis there is a problem with your car engine.
Causes of high oil pressure
1. Oil pressure sensor is damaged
To check the cause of that phenomenon, we will check the oil pressure sensor near the oil filter. This sensor will provide information to the meter as well as the central control system. If the sensor has a problem, sometimes the signal sent to the meter will be incorrect.

2. Safety valve in oil filter is damaged
The safety valve is responsible for reducing the pressure in the lubrication system when the pressure increases. If this valve is stuck, it may cause the pump to operate under high pressure, leading to damage.

When the oil pressure is high, you should pay attention to check the details mentioned above. This problem needs to be repaired promptly to avoid damage to details such as oil pump and oil filter.
Regularly take care of and maintain your car to detect potential damage and fix it promptly.
