scoot600 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I have a service oil warning light coming on whenever I start the car. I have tried the clutch and brake pedal solution for removing it but to no avail. Does this warning signify some sort of problem or is it just a timing thing for an oil change? The model is a 1.6 TDCI Focus Sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_Andy_M Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Have you actually checked the oil level? That light is the oil pressure light which means there is either a lack of oil or the pressure it too low. Also when was the oil last changed? You have a MK2.5 with a 1.6TDCi engine. This needs to be done every 6000 miles to maintain a working engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith walker Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I have the same problem. I have just serviced the car ( ford focus 1.6 TDI 2013 model ) changed oil, oil filter and air filter then cleared service light by brake and accelerater depression but after an hour or two the oil service light comes on again?.

Yousif Iskander Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I experienced the same problem as Keith Walker. So serviced car (focus 2011 2.0TD), cleared service light, and 3 days later light back on, and stayed back on even after clearing multiple times. Any solutions yet?
