While cruising in your 2010 Ford Escape around the city, you notice the oil light coming on in your dashboard. This can be due to a few reasons. The most common cause of the sudden oil light is low oil pressure in the engine. You can quickly resolve this issue by doing an oil change or topping up with 5 quarts of 5w-20 or 5w-30 fully synthetic motor oil. Another possibility is the wear and tear of the engine and its components, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor. If the sensor is faulty, it will have to be replaced, which could amount to a parts cost of $25 to $80.
