Oil warning light after oil cooler install. PLEASE HELP ME

[Medic_01]

Help.
I have just installed my Remote mount oil cooler / filter kit from PSC and i have now got an Oil warning light (the manual says low oil pressure) and a quiet ticking noise from the engine bay.

i have checkd all connections, they are tight, no leaks, and there is oil in the filter ( i loosed it off, and there was oil inside).

the oil level in the engine is full, and i have added a small amount extra for the oil in the lines & cooler.

i'm afraid i might kill the motor, what is wrong, what can i do. i havent run it for more than 2 mins at a time. in total 3 times.

PLEASE HELP.

03 Accent, LC2 by the way.
It may just need a longer run in, to allow more oil to move around the system, but i'm scared that ill starve the motor and sieze it solid.

what should i do?

Your filter dosent allow the proper flow. Try putting your stock one back on and see what happens.

That looks like the OEM filter...

I think you are losing pressure on idle (try rev it up and see if the light goes away)because those lines are way too long....
What oil you putting in?
I don't suggest putting in anything with a 5w in it... try a 10w30+

yeah, you have to keep in mind the sheer THICKNESS of those lines. The stock oil pump will not be able to handle that kind of flow and maintain pressure.

Jesus, I've seen thinner lines on a forklift mast assembly, or reach truck fork control lines! (filled with, you guessed it, oil) Why on EARTH are you using such thick lines? You will need a higher volume oil pump for starters... see if you can get thinner lines, i can almost guarantee that will solve your problem!

Hook up an oil PSI gauge (installs in about 30 min), they cost like, $5 on eBay.
