The ENG OIL P caution indicates that which condition is occurring?

• A. Engine 2 has lost its Oil Pressure
• B. Oil Pressure is Normal
• C. Engine 1 has lost its Oil Pressure
• D. Oil Pump Failure

Answer: (C)

The diciest part of this warning is that it points to a problem with lubrication on a specific engine. ENG OIL P is a warning label for oil pressure on Engine 1, so when this caution comes on, it means Engine 1’s oil pressure has fallen below safe levels. Oil pressure must stay within a minimum range to keep the engine lubricated; a drop can lead to serious damage if the engine continues to run.

So what should you do conceptually: verify Engine 1’s oil pressure with the gauge, confirm there isn’t a false reading, and follow the flight manual’s emergency procedures, which usually include reducing power on Engine 1 and preparing to shut the engine down if the pressure doesn’t recover or if it deteriorates further.

This warning does not indicate Engine 2 oil pressure, nor does it automatically mean oil pump failure, and it isn’t a normal oil pressure indication. It’s specifically signaling a low oil pressure condition on Engine 1.
