Trans: Automatic
Mileage: 55,412 mi
VIN: WV2YB0255HH038487
Affected Item: LUBRICATION SYSTEM
___________________________ FIX: ___________________________
Thanks for the help. Most guys recommended draining the oil
and filling with 20/50. This raised the oil pressure about
four lbs. at idle and six lbs. at 2000 rpm. Dash lights
stayed off even after 20 minutes running.
____________________ ORIGINAL MESSAGE: _____________________
Oil press. warning light comes on intermittently. Bosch
filter(#72150) and 10-30 wt. are used. Before we pull the
pump does anybody have any suggestions as to how to isolate
the problem
Thanks, Dan
