2015 RXPX 260 "low oil pressure" warning on startup

[kawiguy827]

Hey all,

I just picked up a 2015 RXPX 260, with 13 hours on it. So excited. Not the point, however. When the previous owner started it, the engine ran fine, and there were no codes. However, when i turned it over the other day, I noticed the "low oil pressure" warning was illuminated, and it displayed on the LCD readout. I immediately turned it the boat off. I checked the oil level, and it is fine, based on the operator's guide.

I talked to the previous owner (he's been really good about maintaining contact and answering questions), and he says that the light comes on for the first couple of starts, and then once the unit gets up to NOC, it turns off, and we all resume life as usual.

Does anyone have any experience with this? What are things to look for? This is by far the most advanced unit I've owned, and I'd like to do this right.

Thanks,

-J

Fairly common to get the low oil pressure immediately after start up on a cold motor on the newer machines. Should go away after a couple seconds. I think BRP changed this with a software update around 2014-2015(when yours was built so probably didn't have the update)where it didn't officially read the oil pressure until a few seconds after start up. You might want to check with the dealer to see if you have the latest updates. There's been other threads on this and happens quite a bit.
