Low oil pressure and I want to die..

[Bill R.]

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

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.
