Excellent video! Our oil light just came on yesterday. We have a 2017 ELANTRA, perfect maintenance, records, owned it since brand, new, and praying to God that it is not a serious repair. We just paid it off. We would like to live a couple years with no car payments. Your Video has given me immeasurable Hope! Thank you so much for having this video posted! Wishing you a merry Christmas :-)

[@alyoungcuda]

Keep up with the oil maintenance and check that it doesn't lose any oil, keep the level up and you will be just fine..my other videos on these cars has to do with burning and losing oil and causing problems and dirty oil will cause the timing solenoids to get stuck..Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas

[@BobbyDeneke]

@@alyoungcuda thanks! The oil has not dropped at all and there’s no leaking or burning. Everything has been pretty good up to this point. That’s why your video is so valuable to me, I called the local auto parts store and that part is $14. Whew! We recently had to replace our air-conditioning for the third time. The first two times was under warranty. The third time there was no warranty and it cost just over $2000. I’m not a real happy guy with Hyundai.

[@alyoungcuda]

@@BobbyDeneke wow, that is alot of money for ac..thats why Autozone has lifetime warranty on things

This was exactly the problem on my 2016. Started flickering at a stop light and 9ver the course of 1 day quickly progressed to a solid oil light. Level was full so I researched, found this video, and fixed my car. Everything was just as you said and showed it would be when switching the part out. Quick and easy. Saved a bunch 9f money not putting it in the shop. Thanks fren.

Thanks for the video I was looking for this part# and location on my Elantra. One bit of advice though, get a can of electrical contact cleaner. Brake cleaner will make the wire insulation and plastic pigtail connectors brittle and it will destroy them.

[@alyoungcuda]

Brake cleaner works best on oil removal..its so good,it takes dry oil out of a cement driveway..thats my other video..lol But Automotive wiring insulation can hold up to a 2 second spray.. 😆

Good day i hope you can see this message. I just started getting this flickering light or i just started noticing it. Either accelerating or getting ready to slow for a turn it flickering for a second or 2. Oil level seemed fine but after reading some of the responses I'm going to change out oil, oil filter, air filter myself and then check ro see if problem still exist.

​@@alyoungcuda to any one reading this in the future, if you are in any way mechanically inclined, give this a try first before going to the dealer. The Hyundai dealer charged me $350 to diagnose this and then $382 to fix it. it was the exact part this video showed how to fix. Don't be dumb like me and back yourself into a corner where the dealer will highway rob you because you have no time to do it yourself.

[@ooscgt]

This is very helpful. I noticed the oil filter wet with oil. Replaced it with a new and tightened it better but still wet after a couple of weeks….i am hoping it is is the oil pressure sensor that started leaking like yours instead of other major leak.

[@alyoungcuda]

You can unplug the sensor connector and if its wet, that is the problem..don't forget to clean the connector before you plug it back on the new sensor if you're doing it yourself

[@Dailey-lj6nz]

Thanks for doing this video. Mine started flickering when I get below 30mph or stopped. It started after my hood and grill was repaired after a front end collision. I'm waiting to have it fixed now. I hope it's as simple as this!

[@alyoungcuda]

It is simple but if you never ever did one before, you need to know your strength in tightening it and that also depends on the tool you use to do the job. Inexperienced diy people will cause more harm than good..remember that watching a few videos doesn't make you an expert mechanic, so be careful...and if you see oil in the connector, clean it out before you plug it back in as you can see others have done..

[@Mr.Riffian]

Regarding sensors: always use OEM. Aftermarket ones can have minor differences your ECU will not like.

[@alyoungcuda]

Depending on the brands, some are oem packaged in aftermarket boxes, they will have the package wrapped in the oem bag too.

Great Work Bud ! Thanks for the video . I'm having the same problem with my elantra 2015 . its around 1 am in the morning, and the oil lamp started flickering on and off , at times it doesnr come on, then after a while it flickers on and off. Twice in a span of 5 hours driving, the car stalled and i had to start it again , and I thought maybe the oil pump is dying on me. Lol. Pretty freaked me out! But After watching your great video , im quite positive that it might be the switch which is giving up on me. I'll get another switch and replace it to see if it fixes the problem. Thanks again !

[@alyoungcuda]

Check your oil level..someone had a similar problem and the dipstick was stained and it looked full but it was not..look for an actual wet level...

[@big.r5550]

@@alyoungcuda just a quick update. So after leaving the above comment last night, I decided to head straight home , but as I was driving, the oil lamp flashing got worse , and I decided to pull into a gas station and do some inspection. So I did a visual inspection of the oil pressure switch , took the connector off and it looked OK, no leakage at all. Then when I decided to check the oil level , it was low ! This is quite strange bcoz I've driven only about 5,000km now , since I did my last oil change . I'm just wondering what happened to that oil, bcoz the car has no leakage . Nwayz long story short, I topped my oil with about 500ml that I bought at the gas station , and to my surprise, the lamp stopped flashing completely after driving around for about 5 km . This morning I woke up and drove for about 120km , and the light didn't come back on ! 🙂🙂 So youre very right , better to check the oil level before thinking about replacing the switch.

I thought this was a good video until I followed your instructions exactly. I was trying to save my girlfriend a bill when I saw how easy this fix was. That was until i turned the oil pressure switch until it got "nice and tight" as you said. But somehow the engine got a serious crack in it above the oil pressure switch. I could not believe it!! When it was all said and done.... the bill to have a mechanic to replace the upper oil pan - that is where the oil pressure goes into.... the cost to pay someone to fix it was 1350.00 dollars!! Another shop quoted me 2500 dollars!! My girlfriend almost had a nervous breakdown when I told her we might have to replace the engine. Because on many models of cars that would be the whole engine block that would crack. The engine would have to be replaced. All I will say is I thought of subpoena you through KZbin for really causing the damage to fail to warn about how the engine can get damaged. You really need to have those kind of warnings in your videos. Preferable with Red lettering over your actual videos. Wherever serious damage could occur in these videos you make. You know what Al baby, I think I would have good case in court to sue you.

@@sheeshd977 when you have done enough of them you can feel when it gets tight and the tool you use will also make a difference, people use 3/8 drive, others use 1/2 in drive tools, some use channel lock pliers, mechanics know too loose it leaks, too tight you break it, over tight and you break everything..the old saying goes. If in doubt, send it Out. And of course others never clean the oil in the connector before they reinstall it on the new one. There is a reason why you don't wet a plug on a toaster and then plug it into a wall socket...😆

It's night time here but I'm planning to go to the mechanic tomorrow. Hopefully it's just a sensor issue not an oil pump.

[@alyoungcuda]

Oil pump has no on and off..its either it pumps oil or it don't but since your light went off and the engine is not making any crazy noises than its the switch..but don't be surprised when the add on more things..its a business...

[@KashifNawaz85]

Update: I visited Hyundai Service Center and the guy there checked and yes it's the same issue as mentioned in this video. The oil pressure sensor. Put the new sensor on and everything goes back to normal, no oil warning light. Cost: 13+21 USD approx. Sensor+ labor

Just replaced mine but when I started driving the car started dripping oil. The new switch had some thread tape on it but what I did notice was when I removed the switch a good amount of oil spilled out. Wondering if it's something else or just the new switch didn't have good enough thread on it

[@WestonFordham]

So just an update. I'm under the car now and trying to tighten the sensor it's as tight as it can be since now it seems to be just spinning and not getting tighter. I'm going to drive and see if that was the problem because the leak looks to be coming from there. While I'm out driving I'll get some thread sealing tape as well

Another question. What is the red stuff on the threads? My new sensor did not have that on the threads.One video I saw they said to put teflon tape on the threads and another video told me not to put tape on the threads. Confused here as what to do.

[@alyoungcuda]

Some say not to put Teflon tape on because the switch itself us a ground..but use tape so it don't leak..the treads once screwed in will strip off and make a good ground...but if it has the red sealant in the treads..your fine..put it in like that.

Commenting again because I had to replace this about exactly a year after last time. Can you use wd-40 to clean out the way you used brake cleaner here?

[@alyoungcuda]

Wd40 is not a cleaner and it won't dry, so anything wet in an electrical connector is not a good thing, I use the brake cleaner since it will clean and dry out in a few seconds. I believe the Autozone brand switch has a lifetime warranty.

Yes, I have previously when they've to that issue. I just did an oil change, because the oil light came on. I have found that on my wife's Elantra and my other Hyundai, I take a wire wheel to the dipstick so that the brown stain goes away. But be careful to make sure it's cleaned before putting it back in.

[@pagebry]

Hey! We have this similar issue with our 2015 Hyundai Elantra. The oil light flickers when the vehicle is slowing down, and eventually close after that the engine shuts off. The car starts up just fine, and resumes the whole process. We took the advice and bought a new oil pressure sensor. There was a lot of oil leakage when we replaced the sensor. However, we are still having the same issue. Any recommendations?

[@alyoungcuda]

Common questions here, did you clean the connector, did you check the oil level? And I say this because in my other video the dipstick will make a brown stain that tricks you into thinking its full but its not. The next thing you can do is to rent for free an oil pressure gauge from autozone, screw it into the hole where the pressure switch was and check the actual pressure..almost like taking a blood pressure test on the engine..2nd, how old is the oil, might need an oil and filter change if its dirty. Hopefully its not a bad engine for which they are known for. Good luck

@@bloggerbriii ok, the car was normal before the parts change, I would physically look at the engine oil level to make sure they put enough oil in it, second, the engine air filter, when they changed that, they could of left something unplugged, left the rubber hose loose and didn't tighten the clamp, some cars have an electrical sensor with a plug and they might of left that off or loose, the air filter cover could of not been put back on properly and its not closed right.

When I do an oil change on my car the oil like flicker problem will go away for around 500-800miles then it will start happening again, if I keep driving it with the light flicking the car will randomly shut off. The light only really flickers at low rpm but once im going faster then 40mph it doesnt seem to happen anymore. Its been like this for a year and I have just been switching the oil every 500miles to prevent the light and any damage. do you have any solutions or idea what this could be?

[@thegreatbenis225]

Update, took a look at the switch and it looks like the previous owner did replace because it looks new. it says 20/03 on it with zero rust and had no oil in it.

@@thegreatbenis225 change the switch, looks can be deceiving

[@thegreatbenis225]

@@alyoungcuda I think the previous owner sold the car knowing it had a bad oil pump, ill replace the switch but i do think its already was done. since it looks like it was just replaced.

@@thegreatbenis225 new ones can go bad, Autozone has a lifetime warranty on theirs..You can also rent an oil pressure tester to check the oil pressure readings..the hose and gauge screws into the hole where the switch comes out of and you start the engine and read the pressure at idle..warmed up of course.

[@thegreatbenis225]

@@alyoungcuda I changed the sensor like you said and it didnt fix the issue. My brother has a computer with the software to check all that out but it will be a week before he can test it. You think its possible its the oil pump?

[@MaynardOwns]

Would this cause a Check engine light?

[@alyoungcuda]

No

@@alyoungcuda sigh yeah I think I’m screwed code P001700 2020 Elantra. After running a bit too long without an oil change and not topping it off. Unless I can forge some service records it won’t be covered under warranty either shit

[@alyoungcuda]

@@MaynardOwns do u mean P0017 code? Thats the valve timing solenoids..there is a intake and exhaust one, they are pretty simple to change out. They go bad if regular oil changes are not done and the dirty oil clogs them up. Change the 2 solenoids, change the oil and filter before you start the engine so you won't contaminate the new solenoids.

[@MaynardOwns]

@@alyoungcuda yeah I saw that too. I also saw some people say it ended up being timing chain. My light came on after excessive driving without an oil change and most def low oil cuz it was making an awful noise while accelerating and instead of checking I drove for a few days. Light came on. I added oil noise when away then I continued to drive without getting an oil change

[@alyoungcuda]

@@MaynardOwns timing chain in 3 years is rare unless you totally did not keep up with the oil changes for years.

Bad map sensor...

[@alyoungcuda]

Map? You do know what that sensor does right? Not oil related at all.

[@JohnJones-zb7el]

Yes , loss of power, engine stalling ,miss-fire , flashing oil light , oil sensor was ok.....changed map ,and the oil light stopped flashing....

[@alyoungcuda]

@@JohnJones-zb7el thats because you had a low idle running car, same reason why your oil light is on when your 1st turn on your ignition. Low engine rpm will give you low oil pressure since it is running so low the oil pump is not pumping. Think of it as a stroke, low pumping heart will make you faint and fall, but nothing here has your engine troubles, but thanks for the input if you have engine running problems.
