Low oil pressure problem!!!
Normally my car will cruise at 30 psi oil. it would idle a little lower. On a cold start it would be in the 40's I think.
Now since 2 days ago the oil gauge reads 15 at idle and runs at about 20-25. When cold it will start at about 30 psi but then go down. It sounds, smells and runs the same as it did before as far as I can tell.
Bring a little nervious I changed the oil and filter and I did not really notice a change. Should I buy and aftermarket gauge or replace my sending unit?
The sending unit and the gauge were about 40 each at napa. What is the best solution to figuring out the problem?
