Oil Pressure Problem.
Re: Oil Pressure Problem.
Well here is the update on my situations guys! my car started that slugish problem and stuff... well were thinking that the waterpump was messing up causing the car to warm up excessively making it do that also this little tube running next to it! well it was old probally cracked letting air into the water jacket.. so that could be doing it also! and another thing is that the radiator needs bled off.. we are about sure that will solve the chug chug slugish problem if not were changing the O2's and were cutting the cat out.. were also gonna check the plugs and wires.. other than that we dont have much else to do.
the oil problem, we got the oil plate off, looked.. the gear was just fine!?! no idea.. the oil was looking good? nothing bad.. no murky looking nasty water? so no blown or cracked or busted heads or gaskets!?!
what could the problem be? my guage messing up?
anyway im switching to a heavier weight non synthitic oil.. because I was running 10w-30. it was mobile one.. now im putting in 10w-40 were thinking the lighterweight oil might have been causing a problem because when the engine heats up it thins out too much or something?
how many quarts will I need to put in it or will it hold?
so were gonna change the oil sending unit the oil gear was changed and were changeing the oil and the oil filter! so what do you guys think this problem is?
