Engine light on, oil pressure down, and car shakes


Recommended Posts

Posted

So my dad and I put new oil in my 2014 silverado 5.3 L V8 yesterday and all was good. Today I ran somewhere real quick came back, then turned on my truck again. It ran for 20 sec then the oil pressure gauge dropped and the car shaked and shut off. We played around with it by giving it gas and such and it evwentually worked. Later today, I started it and the same thing happened with the oil gauage and the car shaking but now the engine light came on and then started flashing.

 

To clarify yes the oil cap is on and yes I reset the oil life back to 100%

 

Thanks for any input!!!

Sorry but I have to ask. Did you check the oil level?

Find out what the CEL is for and go from there

That's just it. Is there anyway to actually tell you what it's for? In the manual it just says check the gas cap or bring it to a dealer for a report

Check your plug wires. Lots of reports about a wire falling off on the 14 models. You could have bumped it during the oil change.

No idea why the oil pressure would drop if it full of oil and has the correct filter unless you have an electrical issue between the sending unit and the gauge.

 

Have it towed to the dealer, it has a 100K mile warranty.

Please state the oil brand/viscosity used and oil filter brand/number used.

100k mile warranty for what?? I've brought it in before and the warranty was 36,000 miles they said.

I used 0W-20 valvoline. I can't remeber the filter brand but I got the $8.46 one I believe. It was one that was recommeded on autozones computer for my truck.

Also do you know what "wire" falls off? And where I can find it?

I'm going with spark plug wire. But I'd double check that you installed the correct oil filter too.
