Subject: Oil pressure cures.

I've determined the best thing you can do with your oil pressure light is to
put a piece of black electrical tape over it and never worry again. Who
cares? If it's the sender is at fault you have no problem. If you have no
oil pressure your engine is shot anyway. That &*%# glow occasionally or
intermittent glowing just will worry you. Get a good 20-50 dinosaur oil and
forget about it. If you are really paranoid get a gauge and worry over it.
My Alfa Spider shows ZERO oil pressure at idle yet 57 when at anything over
like 1200 RPM. I do not worry about that either. That's just the nature of
the beast. The satanic coolant gauge is the same way. If it gets towards
halfway I turn on the AC (which has been removed) as it manually turns on
the radiator fan. If I didn't have AC I'd wire a manual switch to the fan to
be able to turn it on when it started to get hot. The temp switch is
unreliable. Life with a Vanagon is MUCH easier when you stop caring.
