Re: oil pressure

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The first thing that comes to mind would be the oil isn't the correct 
viscosity for the climate. Maybe it is time to change the oil? The 
other possibility is a faulty oil pressure sender. The OEM unit isn't 
well calibrated to the oil pressure gauge in the first place. Marty 
Maier offers a very nice alternative and it seems to make the gauge 
act properly. It is located next to the oil filter which should be 
changed when you change the oil. You can always install a mechanical 
gauge temporaraly to check the oil pressure. It is NOT GOOD to run 
with 0 oil pressure. Rule of thumb is 10 psi for every 1,000 RPM 
starting with at least 15 psi.

noticed a peculiar problem. When the car first starts, the oil 
pressure reads fine, around 45-50..but after about 25 minutes of 
driving, it almost reads 0. The oil level is fine, and there aren't 
any major leaks...anyone else have a problem like this? Is this 
possibly a faulty gauge? Thanks!
