Yeah this happens to me every friggin time. Something breaks.
I just got her tuned, exhaust leak fixed, new Nitto Tires, Sparco Torino 2 seats/belts/brackets, new T/A Diff. Cover, Changed the oil (twice!)
I've got a serious problem. My Stock Oil Gauge is reading fairly low and I am scared. The needle is on the N in Normal (mostly on the furthest point to the left).
So I changed the oil and filter hoping that old oil was the problem. At first, I did four quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic 10w30 and one quart of Lucas Synthetic and a Mobil 1 filter. The pressure didnt change, it remained as stated above. That was on last sunday night.
So I havn't used my car since that night in hopes of something fixing itself. Today I did another oil change. The main reason was because I read about Bobistheoilguy.com's experiment on the Lucas crap. So I went with a straight 50weight-Valvoline synthetic. I also installed a battery hold down kit so that I would pass tech inspection at this weekends FFW.
No luck, pressure still seems low. The needle is on the N.
WTF do I do?
Please help me is there anything I can do to make sure my gauge isnt f-ing with me. I need to do something ASAP because IF I am going to FFW I need to make sure I dont kill my motor. I was really hoping for 12's.
Please Help! The thicker oil didnt help.
Am I doomed to have to have my pump replaced?
