It was the oil pump. I'm going to take it out for an extended spin around the block, but that's what it is. They idled it for quite awhile, and when the pressure came down, it was in the norm. No metal in either the oil pan or the filter... so I didn't screw up the engine. Thanx for everyone's...

And a bucket well peed in needs to be emptied.

What you would be striking against are the tards who would take low rates to pay for fuel home, and hot dogs. As long as they're out there, the brokers would cater to them.

Because she's still in the car, waiting on the guy.

There's a chicken in the front seat. I bet she broke the car.

The mechanical and dashboard gauges aren't that much off. I'm doubting it's the gauge, tho it can't hurt to eliminate it as a problem.

I never have. Haven't run it much in the 10 months I've owned it.

Seemed to have fixed itself once they changed the oil and filters, and put the mechanical gauge on. Maybe not "fixed", but rather transformed into the low pressure it now has.

Now I talked with ANOTHER Cat mech. He said the warning light wouldn't necessarily come on if the sensor is bad. He thinks it could be a pressure relief valve on the pump. I'm thinking I should just go ahead and change the oil pump. But then again, I might have damaged the engine. Maybe I should...

Talked to a mechanic at Cat. He said extra oil wouldn't do anything to the oil pressure; but I read it could blow the seals. He also said that anything below 18 should get a low oil pressure warning, and an engine shutdown. He said that the gauge could be bad. He also stated, when asked about...

Also, when the shop changed the oil, they put too much in it... maybe 2qt to a gal. Could this cause low oil pressure?

High oil pressure problem fixed. Now I have low oil pressure. When driving, it's around 28. When it's idling, it's around 5 or less. Being that it was likely debris in the oil pump to cause the high oil pressure, would it take a rocket scientist to deduce that the oil pump may be on its last...

Makes me wonder how many great presidents we didn't elect because the other guy was "prettier" or the candidate in question didn't speak with a "fire in his gut".

Happy birthday, picture caption guy. :D

That's a cool story. I take it you're a Bears fan then? Well, that performance was good enough for Pete Carroll. Wilson has been named our starter. He is going to be hell to gameplan for!

You're the one who said I'm going to help defeat Romney. If I'm not voting for Obama, then how am I helping defeat Romney?

A lot of Ron Paul supporters are liberals who have woken up on SOME issues. Some are conservatives who don't hide their disgust over how the Republican party has turned into a new breed of liberal warmongers. You don't have to agree with the man on every issue. But he IS the most...

I'm not assisting in anything. You only ASSUME I'm a Republican. I'm not. I'm of Libertarian philosophies, and I'll vote as such. I am a TRUE conservative... not a Neo.

Sorry, I don't bet on the whims and fancies of the American pubic. That's like betting on a bunch of three-legged horses.

Same will be said of Romney in Nov. Just keep patting yourself on the back, Neo.
