low oil pressure light
10

Asked by Guru7ZXRL Jun 04, 2020 at 09:59 PM about the 2008 Jeep Liberty Sport 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had the heads machined, changed the gaskets, timing chains, oil pump, oil,
oil filter, oil pressure sensor (factory), and blew air threw the oil pick-up tube.
Oil level is good, engine sounds good, temperature gauge is normal.
Oil pressure light comes on after temperature reaches normal operating (20
minutes idle or 1 mile of driving). Engine does seem hot and maybe smells a
little burning, but no smoke. I did try resetting a possible “change oil
indication”.
Is there a relearn procedure or is some thing else going on in my 2008 Jeep
Liberty?

It was a clogged oil screen in the pickup tube. Btw, I was able to get the windage tray and pickup tube out without removing the oil pan from the vehicle completely. I did not have to cut any bolts either. I unfastened the bolts holding the differential up any pried some to lower the axle enough to give me clearance to pull out the components and give myself enough room to get my hand in the pan and remove/clean the sludge. A new tube, gasket, and o-ring was installed.
