Car Turns OFF due to low oil pressure warning light?

This occurs many a times.You are driving your car and suddenly on dash you get lower oil pressure warning and car quits running or in some cases car does not quit,but it gives you warning to turn off your car.
In such cases,you have to check your cars oil level.
The low oil pressure warning light on dash,is indicator for you to inspects cars oil level.So don't ignore this warning light.
It wants you to turn the car off based on its current reading that your oil pressure is low. It is some sort of protection for your engine. Check for proper oil level and look for any signs of oil leak.
If the oil check is fine at proper levels and no leaks, it can probably be a faulty oil sensor, a wiring, or a module issue. It can also be an oil pump problem. The worst that can happen is a weak engine compression. I suggest you go to your autoshop to check the problem as soon as possible.But first inspect oil level.If its low then get oil filled to required level.

This details will help you.

The details for appropriate oil pressure is as follows :---
Oil pressure is 25-30 psi at idle after engine is warm and 45-60 psi going down the road after engine is warm.If the oil pressure is low,then get oil and oil pump checked.If the oil is low,fill with right oil,suggested by your cars owner manual.If the pump is faulty,then get replaced with original parts,instead of non branded cheaper parts.Branded parts are bit costly but,they last long and give correct results.

This basic details will help.

Thanks.
