Similar problem and solution on Dodge Intrepid
I had a similar problem (blinking oil light) on a 1999 Dodge Intrepid with a 2.7 Liter 4 cylinder engine. To make a long story short (lots of internet chatter and many similar try's to fix....I do not recall if there were oil pressure anomalies, but there were numerous theories concerning sludge) Dodge saved the day..... they came out with a change to the wiring harness at the plug connecting the Oil Sending Unit. The blinking light was caused be a wire in the harness not connected to anything. This solved the problem.
Is anyone aware of whether Nissan has a service bulletin on this topic? |

2005 pathfinder 50K metal shaving in engine.
Update - Old engine failure was due to low oil pressure at #5 Rod beading. $6500.00 later now fixed but for how long? Will never buy Nissan again. Can't wait to get rid of!

With the same low pressure at idle issue, I found myself on this page initially, and during my search, found this: https://www.motor.com/wp-content/upl...RVICE_0116.pdf
I thought it might be helpful to those who search for this issue in the future. |

Thanks for the link! I was aware of the rear cover problems but never had to do one or have seen what the back of the cover looks like.

Bringing this topic back. I'm taking my 05 frontier 4.0 in for the timing chain tensioner repair. While they have it all apart they are going to replace the inner timing chain cover. My truck is showing the exact symptoms of the failed gasket. Low oil pressure at idle. Will update when repair is complete and after I put a few miles on it.
This thread is what helped me find the possible cause of the low oil pressure. Timing couldn't have been better finding it seeing as the truck was scheduled to go in for the timing chain replacement. Saved me a ton of money on labor by doing both at the same time. Thanks Last edited by Keith72; 02-17-2018 at 02:47 PM. |

Inner timing chain cover replacement didn't fix oil pressure problem. New timing chain and tensioners fixed the whirring sound caused by worn tensioners though.

It should be almost center of the gauge.

During idle after warm up?

Both. The only time I see it not near dead center of the range is when it is just started on a cold day, in which case the needle will sit around the 3/4 range on the gauge.
