Oil pressure is very important phenomenon for the life of internal combustion engine. In general lubrication
system oil is picked up by variable flow or positive displacement pump and forced through the oil galleries into main
bearing , big end bearing and camshaft bearing. Sufficient oil pressure ensures that the metal of all rotating shaft and
bearing shell can never touch. There are many variables that affect the oil pressure of engine like oil temperature, viscosity
of oil, engine speed , area of oil gallery. Oil pressure low is very dangerous phenomenon for engine it may cause very serious
damage to the engine. It is important to study this phenomenon.. In this review paper some of the basic reason behind the low
oil pressure problem is discussed.
