P0521 means the ECU sees oil pressure sensor readings that don't match expected values for current RPM and oil temperature. Could be a faulty sensor or genuine low oil pressure, and you can't tell which without a mechanical gauge.

P0521 est un code defaut lie a electrique, classe en gravite high. Lorsque le calculateur de ton vehicule detecte cette condition, il enregistre P0521 et allume le voyant moteur.
Si ton vehicule a declenche P0521, tu peux remarquer un ou plusieurs de ces symptomes :
Voici les causes les plus courantes de P0521 :
Non, regle ca immediatement. If oil pressure is actually low, continuing to drive can destroy bearings and camshafts within minutes. Stop and verify pressure with a mechanical gauge before driving further.

5.3L and 6.0L V8s with Active Fuel Management. The sensor lives under the intake manifold and is a known failure item, covered by GM PIP4568.

5.4L 3V Triton. Sensor threads into the oil filter adapter, easy 15-minute swap. Harness rub near the exhaust manifold is the second usual suspect.

5.7L Hemi with MDS. P0521 here often means genuine low pressure at hot idle, not a bad sensor. Chrysler TSB 09-005-16 addresses oil pump replacement.

2.0 TSI (CCTA/CBFA) and 2.0 TFSI. The N428 variable oil pump regulation valve is a more common P0521 trigger than the pressure sensor itself.

Ces codes apparaissent souvent avec P0521 ou indiquent des problemes connexes :
Not until you've confirmed actual oil pressure with a mechanical gauge. Clearing a real low-pressure fault and driving on it can wipe out bearings and camshafts in a single trip.
Usually the connector or wiring is the real problem, or there's a genuine pressure issue. Cheap Amazon sensors also fail out of the box, so stick with OEM, Bosch, or Delphi.
It can mask marginal pressure on a worn engine, but it's a band-aid. Run the viscosity in the owner's manual and diagnose the root cause instead.
On a Ford Triton, about 20 minutes. On a GM 5.3 AFM engine where the sensor sits under the intake manifold, budget 3 to 5 hours.
On late-model Ram Hemis, GM diesels, and some Ford EcoBoosts, yes: they'll cut power or force idle to protect the engine. Older cars usually just light the dash.
An oil leak is not one repair. A valve cover gasket is $200 to $600 and a rear main seal is $1,000 to $2,000, and only the source decides which one you have.
A flashing check engine light is not the same as a steady one. It almost always means an active misfire that can wreck your catalytic converter in minutes.
An unfamiliar light just appeared on your dashboard and you have no idea what it means. Here is how to read every symbol by colour and which ones mean stop now.
