1987 Volkswagen VANAGON 2.1 L

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
