What Does the Message "Insufficient Oil Pressure. Stop and Turn Off the Engine" Mean in the Alfa Romeo MiTo?

Model: Alfa Romeo Mito MK 1 - Years 2008-2018
Part: Engine oil

In this video, we will see how to respond when the message "Insufficient Oil Pressure. Stop and Turn Off the Engine" appears on the onboard computer in the Alfa Romeo MiTo. First, check the oil level. Among the possible issues, the internal core of the oil filter may break, causing the internal spring to malfunction. This prevents the oil from building pressure when the engine is idling and can cause serious damage to the engine over time, so it is important to act immediately. Another possible cause is tightening the oil filter with a standard spanner instead of a torque wrench.
