First, a couple of questions come to mind if that's o.k., such as, Was oil changed recently, and maybe cheaper brand of oil, or different grade of oil used? Did it get the proper oil filter ? Anything else that may have been done, or happened, such as overheated the engine? If it's got good clean quality oil in it, and you've confirm low oil pressure, then maybe it's oil pump related, or even perhaps some sludge has dislodged and is clogging up pickup tube screen in oil pan. Keeping in mind that if oil changes weren't done on a regular basis, sludge in pan, is a real good possibility. Of course mechanical problems such as a bearing are always a possibility as well, but I'd start looking at those 2 things first.

yes i just changed oil and filter but engine sat for a while.drove to erie about 20 miles away on my way back lost oil pressure and had to drive home.

typically loss of oil pressure at idle but ok pressure at higher rpm can indicate worn camshaft bearings or main bearings. small possibilty that oil pump is tired or pickup tube for pump has sludge or debris clogging screen.

I have all of the same issues I have a 2006 Corolla with 22K miles. Last week my check engine light came on and the car (automatic) was having a slight difficulty changing gears. There is a slight delay in the gear shift and then the car jumps a bit as the shift takes place.check engine light came on this morning. The gas pedal will not make the car go. Putting the car into drive sounds like a kerplunk. the car will go but without any help from the gas pedal. And, this go is VERY VERY slow.Is this for (TC015-07)bulletin 121407 km = 75438.812 mi does this also apply to Canada
