Thank you to those of you who responded already. As some of you surmized, ArcticWesty resides up north. Anchorage, Alaska in fact. I am running winter-weight 5W30 oil right now. I have 3/4 of a case of 20W50 for the summer. I just replaced both the pressure sensors, and used my Bently manual to make sure I had the right ones. (in the right place!) I guess my next step is to put a manual oil pressure gauge on it, and warm it up to see what is going on. My "educated guess" is that I really DO have a oil pressure problem. I could try a sticky oil additive, but I think I would only delay the problem, make the car more difficult to start when it is 10 below, and possibly end up with a catastrophic failure a couple of months down the road. I will keep in touch. Keep those ideas coming. John Cooper [text/html]
