Have you found yourself sitting behind the wheel and staring at a warning light that makes little to no sense and you can’t figure out why it is happening? Panic sets in and you’re thinking “is that the light that means the engine is going to fall out of my car?!” Fear not, you drive a Subaru. That kind of thing doesn’t happen with these beauties. That being said, a little education goes a long way and you really should be the empowered vehicle owner that we want you to be. Lets get our education on and dive into the warning lights and how to know if your car needs a quick trip to Subaru of Niagara.

TODAY WE ARE TALKING: OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT

The OIL PRESSURE WARNING light indicates low oil level or low oil pressure. This can be caused by a shortage of oil, an oil pump problem or the incorrect viscosity of oil for the temperature.

If you see this light come on, you don’t want to keep driving. Stop your vehicle as soon as you can do so safely and stop the engine. Have your vehicle towed to the closest Subaru dealership.
