Subject:Low oil pressure confirmed - next steps? 85 GL 1.9
From:Dave Bohannan

I knew the day was coming…so, the flickering oil light didn’t go away with SAE40 oil (avg temps have been ~90 every day since my flicker started), stretched spring, blah blah blah…

So I did the unthinkable and bought an oil pressure tester…my woes have been confirmed with ~6-7 PSI @~850 RPM and about 16 PSI @ ~2K RPM…you all know the drill I am sure…

My question is…next steps?

I was thinking of inspecting the oil pump first and then go from there… 

Thanks for any input…

Dave
