No oil pressure.

(1/6) > >>

Johnny4428:
Changed oil today, now lost oil pressure, didn’t change filter but drained oil from filter housing. Any tips! Prime?  And yes I have put oil back in.

SteveW:
I’ve ever had to prime my 550. Maybe the wire has come off the pressure switch or the switch has died.

JezzaPeach:
So red light staying on?

Nurse Julie:
550's etc don't need priming, just use the kick start (with ignition off) to get oil around the engine and when you turn ignition on make sure oil light  goes out within a few seconds of starting the engine. If the light doesn't go out, check connection to oil pressure switch. How much oil did you put back in?

Johnny4428:
I will check wiring - the red light is staying on. I have only put 2 1/2 litres in so far and that is put level to top mark on dip stick. I suspect that the filter area is not filled with oil yet as it was all drained. Reluctant to start engine again until it is sorted. Think it should be about 3.2 litres capacity with filter change.
