Not sure if there is a question here or not. If the pressure is always below 40 and you are hearing engine noise, chances are the oil pressure really is low. You could replace the sending unit or use a mechanical gauge to verify.
An engine used oil for lubrication and colling. If there is no oil then there is no lubrication. No lubrication means lots of heat and friction. Is it a ticking or banging noise? I do believe it is an ohc engine so it couldnt be a lifter ticking. It is probably a rod knocking. It so then it will more than likely need an engine
I always wonder why some mechanics just cant say they dont know.I drive a 2001 century every day with 93,000 miles on it.It developed a ticking noise at 80,000 that i diagnosed as a lifter noise.I change my own oil and I put a quart of auto trans fluid in the engine oil and drove it for a week before i changed the oil and the noise went away and stayed gone.This is a trick I learned from my dad who is also a mechanic and shop owner for 35 years.Give it a try and let me know.Good luck.
first, though you mentioned no oil leaking, is there oil in the engine? Next, if engine runs well and is not ticking or tapping, have the codes checked...most larger parts stores do this free. Once you have the stored codes you can look up what system is malfunctioning. If engine is making any noise at all or there is no oil in it, DO NOT START OR DRIVE IT...make sure whoever did the oil change knows about this now...If someone forgot to put oil in, they may be buying you a new engine! At this point it may be something simple but can also be very serious.(hope not) good luck
oil pump is in the oil pan,sounds like your problem is in the crank bearings if one crank bearing goes you will loose oil pressure causing oil light to come on.
Okay, lets hope it is something simple. Remove the underhood light bulb. At night, in the dark, start the engine and look under the hood. You may be able to see sparks jumping. This would be bad wires. If you can see where the spark plugs go and one has a spark jumping it is just one bad sparkplug. Turn off car-replace underhood bulb.
If you see no sparks then it is most likely the valve train. If you have adjustable lifters they need someone to tighten them up to specifications. If they are not adjustable you may need to replace worn parts.
Make sure you keep fresh and plenty of oil in the engine. It can not repair worn parts but if the oil is low or dirty you will have bigger problems.
check the axles for leaking boots or dry axle joints....replace if necessary...also make sure all brake caliper bolts are all installed and correctly torqued
does it go tick tick tick tick and when it warms up it stops or goes quiet? its your lifters not getting enough oil when u change your oil it will stop till that oil gets worn out you will have to replace the lifters or it can also be a slack oil pump not pumping oil around the engine like it should
Start with a higher flowing airfilter( a replacement panel one in your factory airbox,as a pod filter will **** hot air and off set any flow gains that it gives) a larger diameter exhuast is next and im unsure of what sensors are in your 08 subaru but theres always away of getting around it. They are the best bang for buck modifications you can do and should net you 7-10kw at the wheels, most things after that can get expensive after that on a N/A motor and the airfilter is easy to do yourself , any exhaust place can take care of your exhaust. help this helps.
