05 F150 Low Oil Pressure
I have an 05 F150 with 59,000 miles. Today my engine killed and said "low oil pressure". After checking all fluids, I restarted it and all was fine. After about 45 minutes, I was almost home and got a display showing "engine fail safe mode" and then it shut down again on "low oil pressure".

yea if its overfilled then it could cause more damage then being slightly underfilled sometimes. it may simply be the pressure sender. but do make sure the oil is between the add and full lines instead of above or below. the engine only takes 6 quarts of oil with a new filter.

When you over fill an engine with oil, the crank will swing down and start beating into the oil that is in the pan. It will start to foam and most oils for gasoline engines don't have much in them in the way of antifoaming agents. The oil pressure will drop as the pump is trying to pump the foam and things go downhill from there. If you think you over filled it, change the oil AND the filter ASAP. You'll also want to change oil again at about 1500 miles. There will be wear particles that needs to come out. Running an engine over full is more dangerous than running one low.

I'm with Quintin on this. I don't think it's a lubrication issue thats shutting you down. Codes..?

Thanks guys, I do have a 5.4L engine. I drained the oil this morning and replaced it along with the filter. I put a code scanner on and it said, "no codes stored". However, after scanning for codes, it did kill shortly thereafter. I'm gonna bring it to a friend of mine tomorrow and he is gonna check it out. I don't really have the time to mess with it myself. I live in Louisiana, and the way the tropics are getting active, I need to be ready for the road. I'll keep you all posted with the outcome.
