How can I tell if my car is out of time

Asked by Pamela Aug 10, 2016 at 11:55 PM about the 2000 Chrysler 300M

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Knocking in the top end oil light blinks on
and off but full of oil has no power

Knocking could be your hydraulic valve-lifters, one of the causes for this is very low oil pressure. When the light flashes on it indicates that the oil pressure is 10 PSI or less.. If the engine has the proper amount of oil, the low pressure could be caused by a clogged oil filter or a defective oil pump..also one or more shell bearings could be completely worn out.. .
