Low oil pressure warning - need new engine?!
My 2018 Limited has run perfectly from the start. I love the truck and have always had the oil changed with high-grade synthetic when prompted. It's been three weeks since my last oil change. A couple days ago the low pressure warning came on and the engine went into safety mode. I took it to the dealer thinking it needed a sensing unit, only to be told there is sludge build-up and I need a new engine. I am wondering how common this is with the Eco boost and what ideas anyone might have to avoid an engine replacement? The engine sounds just fine, no unusual noises. When I start it and drive for a mile or so it runs will full power, but then the warning comes on and it goes back to safety mode. I have two vehicles over 20 years old each with the Tritan V10 and they still run perfectly with nothing but oil changes. Can't wrap my head around this.
