Technical Engine oil warning

[DwarJones]

Good morning,
I recently purchased a 2015 Fiat 500 Lounge. Every now and again when I start the vehicle I get the warning "insufficient engine oil pressure". I have taken the vehicle for diagnostics and nothing came up. The garage told me it could be a sensor. Has anyone else had the same warning and could possibly shed some light please? It really bothers me and I would rather get it fixed as I do not want to get stranded on the R21 here in Johannesburg! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Have an awesome Sunday

Not sure if relevant to your Fiat, but some vehicles had issues with the oil pick in the sump with the seal from pipe to engine.
You may find more detail with a search in Forum.
I believe it involved a sump off and new seal on pipe.

Now that you mention the oil sump, the guy did say it could be the sieve that simply needs to be cleaned. Thank you very much I will mention the seal when I take the vehicle in for a service in the next few weeks

First try, new quality branded oil filter and the correct measured quantity of oil, a new sensor( oil pressure) isn't expensive that you could try too, but oil and filter first?
