oil pressure dropping
 
when i start up my car the oil pressure sits at about 35, which im guessing is normal. after about ten minutes it drops down between 15 and 0 and the car is dirt *** slow but it will rise back up when i start miving again. anyone know what it could be? and the engine isnt running too hot either. and im using 10w 30 oil which is not thin., thanks

Get and oil pressure gauage and check the pressure manually. Mine was reading low so I got a guage and hook it up check the pressure and it was with in specs. Ended up being the wiring or the snding unit. Cant rember which

Its your first step and you dont end up doing somehting that you dont need to do. Tools are great. The best ones are thre ones the wife did not know that i have. Compression tester. Oil pressure tester. Fuel pressure tester. Wobble sockets, engine lift engine stand. Etc etc etc.
