Engine oil pressure

Hi guys, I have a 17 Raptor with 4,000 miles and I was on the freeway. I stepped on the gas to pass a car then I lost power and the low oil pressure light turned on. I took it to ford 3 days ago and the oil was actually low. I'm still waiting for a response. Any one with this problem or heard about this. Oh and no oil leaks!

How low?

Prolly right on the cusp of low oil detection limp mode...

Have you had the oil changed since you got it?

I have had this issue with my 2018 as well. Both times were in sport mode at 5000 RPM I heard something like a 'bang', oil pressure dropped to red, and lost gas pedal response for a moment. The first time the dealership said oil was low, the second time oil was normal but said it might be a faulty sensor. No confirmation on sensor ATM.

Just had the same thing happen to me racing a C6 Z06. Was neck and neck thru third and then cut power. Low Oil Pressure P0524 I think.

Checked my OP on my Accessport and it was showing pressure(around 30psi). It was a solid 4x4 launch. Thought it had something to do with the high speed in 4x4.

Guess I'll have to try and recreate it

What i have read on other ecoboost forums , Drag racing mostly street trucks are running 6 1/2 quarts of oil . 1/2 quart over fill . Hard boost launch can cause sump to run dry for split second. You definitely don't want to be a quart down and sustained high rpms or boost launching .

Full Race has been working with the EB platform since the beginning and they’ve always recommended 1/2 qt overfill for this reason.
