Too much talking and repeating. Cut this to a 5 minute video lol

[@DukesKid01]

I just had this issue myself with the low oil pressure coming on. Went on a 1500 miles road trip and when we were leaving to come back home it happened. Had #27 fuse blow for the fuel pump. Open the fuse box under the hood and pop out that fuse, my guess is it’s fried. Went to Napa auto store and got a new 20 amp fuse put it in and all the issues went away. Have had no issues since. Hope this helps.

[@blomeoutdoors2134]

Erin Berg Thanks! I’ll check that out!

[@matthewspero884]

​@Blome Outdoors did it work?

[@timbroom2328]

So the reason your low oil light was on was because the engine was no longer running. Your problem is not with oil pressure. You need to change your purge valve. This is very common and does exactly what you mentioned. And it will do it sporadically because it's getting dirty and sticking. Try that. Good looking truck. Looks alot like mine.

[@gallionism]

Same symptoms and fix here. Purge valve was stuck open pulling a vacuum on the gas tank. Vapor lock.

[@aaronsoriano8757]

This happened to me about 4 months ago i just turned the engine back on and never had that problem again But i might change that purge valve just in case

Nice looking rig. I love mine and have only done minor modification from stock. It’s a 2012 5.0 XLT 4x4 super crew that I got from a dealer with 52k miles in January 2019. It was owned by one of their retired employees who spec’d it out with what he wanted (4x4 with Rear Diff lock, DVD player which I’ve never used, and chrome appearance package). When I bought it it was stock height and tires, so I asked them to level it and put some 33s on it. However their maintenance manager recommended a 35x12.50, so I went with that and it looked/s great. As of yesterday when I got a routine servicing down at the dealer I have 127k miles on it - I drive 49 miles one-way for work during the week so it’s added up over the last year and a half since getting this job. I haven’t had any mechanical issues whatsoever in my time driving it. I noticed how you said yours doesn’t want to stay in 6th gear with the tires you have on and that seemed odd to me. Granted I do kind of baby mine on the highway to get the best mpg possible, but mine will stay in 6th just fine as long as I do that. My avg mpg with the level and 35s is 16.7 mpg, so not too shabby considering the bigger tires and changed aerodynamics with the level. The best mpg I’ve gotten when taking a day trip was like 18.9 with this setup. I don’t know how that would have differed from stock stance and stuff since I didn’t put any time behind the wheel with stock setup. Haha. Long story short, I love mine and hope to drive it for a long, long time. No plans to sell or get rid of it - especially since it’s paid off haha.

I've got a 2013. 5.0 when you come to a red light. The oil pressure would go down. I would rip it up and no problem. The air conditioner might have done that. But I find out when I change my oil it wouldn't do that. What's the Ford says it's just something like a short in it or something. So you might want to change the oil. It only happens at the light. But I put thousands of miles on it never had no problems with it. Then I got a 2016 6 cylinder turbo. I like it pretty well it's cheaper on gas.

Oil pressure sending unit? I replaced mine at around 90,000 miles, I have a 2013 F150 XLT 5.0 Supercab

[@trelee9865]

I have a 2013 5.0 and only once has it thrown a low oil code and shut off, and that was when I pulled up on an incline, but it was just that one time and has been good ever since. I bought mine with about 57k miles on it in May of 2018 and as of November 2021 I have over 122k miles and the only problems I had were around 90k I got some evap codes which just needed the evap hosing replaced above the fuel tank. I got it replaced at the dealership so it was a bit pricey at around $350, but I wasn't confident in anyone else diagnosing it correctly. It didn't cause any issues, just was an annoyance with the check engine light. Around 96k the heater core went out, which I replaced myself in about 8 hours for only $100 for parts and $150 to discharge and recharge the A/C instead of the $1000+ two day job quote to have a shop do it. And finally, most recently around 115k the water pump went out. And honestly $700 over the course of 3.5 years isn't bad at all especially compared to my last car, a 2012 Veloster which had a $100 problem or worse every few weeks.

[@gregander1241]

Hi there, I recommend these following items be replaced immediately with the purchase of any used vehicle. Positive crankcase ventilation, new coolant, new oil change, new transmission fluid.

[@oscarmayer9823]

Sounds like a faulty sending unit that’s causing the intermittent problem. It’s cheaper than an oil pump. Start there and work your way deeper.

[@blomeoutdoors2134]

Thanks! Yeah I'll check it out for sure! I was thinking it was just a sensor going bad or something, cause I haven't had the issue since then

[@landoncarter6452]

@@blomeoutdoors2134 I have a 2014 with the 5.0, and I'm surprised at how low the idle rpm is. In gear it's roughly 525 rpm. I have to wonder how much oil pressure the oil pump can put out at that rpm, even if everything is working well?

[@frankskinner5548]

Have the same issue it's more than likely the oil pressure sensor/sending unit. It's very common. Look up the exact issue on Google or KZbin and be sure to use an electronic contact cleaner on the connector going into the pressure sensor. It's easier to replace on a 2wd with it being 4wd you need to replace it from the topside off the engine, take off the alternator and anything else to gain access to the sensor. It is below the alternator. May need to take off the coolant reservoir as well to gain access.

[@Edgar_Acosta]

Get the longer terminal fuse for the fuel pump or relocate the fuse, simple Google search. Possibly melted some plastic and wasn't making contact. Happened to me but in the parking lot after remote starting to warm it up. If it happens again turn your key to the run position and listen if the fuel pump kicks on if it doesn't get a longer fuse.

I've never seen it in a 5.0 but I've seen it in a 5.4 the stalling at stop lights. A 5.0 should have two vct solenoids one for each bank. If they go bad or get clogged they will change the fuel trims or get stuck open or closed. Maybe give changing the vcts a shot.
