Hey Tyler, 

Not sure if this has been asked...  is your oil level half-way on the dip stick?

If you overfill the WBXer, the crankshaft will splash the oil in the case and cause it aerate.  In turn, this will reduce your oil pressure.  More prone to happen after longish highway runs.

Cheers, 

Jeff

Hmm.. Still have the oil light, although less frequently. Valves chattered once after a run at 65 mph for a few hours. Backed off to an average of
50-55 and it went away.

Still averaged 18.9 mpg over the last run of 380 miles.
