Bad Oil Pressure Sensor Symptoms: 5 Telltale Signs

[@MrRockydee07]

I'm changing my oil pressure sensor today its 23 years old. The engine is running fine except for some engine fluctuations now and then I hope it's not the oil pump .

Sir can i use 5w40 diesel engine oil instead of 15w40 ? The 15w40 is mineral and the 5w40 is a fully synthetic.. please tell me sir..love from India

Hi Krishnan, Thanks for your support! Yes, you can use 5W40 fully synthetic diesel engine oil instead of 15W40 mineral oil. 5W40 offers better cold start performance and overall protection due to its superior chemical properties and since you were using Mineral oil, synthetic is better. Ensure the 5W40 oil meets your engine manufacturer’s specifications, usually found in your owner’s manual. Also, synthetic oils can often extend oil change intervals, but always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. If approved by your vehicle’s manufacturer, 5W40 is a suitable and potentially superior alternative to 15W40. What is your make and model?

Today my oil came on. Engine shakes violently then shuts off. I don't know if my oil additive caused anything?
