Afternoon All,

Really hoping you all could possibly help me.

I have a 2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5 Diesel

Yesterday a red oil light come on my car dash and hasn't gone off I checked the oil levels in the car and all seems perfect so I'm guessing its not the oil level , Does anyone have any ideas of what to check next or possible solutions a lot online seems to be pointing in the direction of the Oil Pressure switch it doesn't really give me any ideas of where this is located though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Simon

Red light means stop the engine immediately.
If you had your engine running with Red oil light on and everything is OK, that mean faulty oil pressure sensor.

I would recommend to go to mechanic as he can check oil pressure and cables in case you have short circuit causing light on.
Normally the oil pump is designed to outlive the engine, but who knows, good mechanic will always check to make sure…
I don’t know the position.
