Low oil pressure and I want to die..

[Dash01]

Thanks for the info on dropping the oil pan.

First, though, seems like you could take a biopsy sample of the oil pan crud (if any, and how thick, etc.) by working through the oil drain plug.

end up in the bottom of the pan like the one in Winfred's pictures. Frequently the pan will be clean and the gunk will be all over the sides of the block and plugging up the oil pickup screen

the problem with that is the screen is allready clogged if the light is on so it doesn't really matter, the pan needs to drop to clean the screen if you actually don't have oil pressure and it's not a dead op switch

ps it's not always pudding, most of the time it's like coffee grounds
