Turbo Terra New Member 2 Member For: 4y 8m Gender: Male Location: Hunter Valley Posted 21/04/20 10:44 AM Share Posted 21/04/20 10:44 AM My Territory Turbo’s oil warning light and alarm keeps coming on when I back off and or at idle. My last oil change I used Mobil 1, 5w - 50. Could this be the issue or is it something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort it quickly or you will have a dead turbo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 100% our 2007 would throw an oil light on and off very so often and the oil was always fine, no leaks etc. Got our local mechanic to look at it and after some research came across the issue mainly on turbo Falcons where the small inline filter gets clogged and stops oil flow to the turbo and it goes 😲 Luckily the Terra T seems to be routed differently as it sets off the warning light whereas from reading about the Falcon issues the 1st you know is when your turbo dies 😰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
