When accelerating uphill there is a knocking sound coming from the engine

Good evening,

This sounds like a failure in the motor for oil pressure from getting stuck. The oil light coming on while the engine is running is the indicator.

You need to have someone test the actual oil pressure with a gauge to be sure there is pressure.

The oil light was doing this before I got it stuck. at first I thought it was low on oil but I bought a quart to top it if and when I checked the dipstick it was where it was supposed to be. So I looked into what would cause that and I was told to try changing the oil pressure sending unit. I'm going to see if I can find someone to check the oil pressure that won't charge me an arm and a leg to do so. Thank you

You are welcome.

Keep us updated.
