IMPORTANT: The Chronicles of Low Oil Pressure by 07burb

[TraumaTruck1]

I am wondering if you either had an oil passage clogged, or if you had some sludge build up that was breaking loose and clogging the filter. That engine flush may have taken care of either.

Good luck. I hope that works out.

In my experience the oil pump relief valve gets stuck open causing a loss of oil pressure intermittently. The motor flush additive probably loosened up some sludge and allowed the valve to move freely

Did you run the Rislone for an entire 3k mile cycle or did you add it towards the end when you did the oil change.

Through the entire 3k mile cycle

Should turn over 150k this week and running strong since doing the treatment described in the first post of the thread

I am too. The wife loves this burb so much she was pretty stressed that this would cause it to disappear so it's made her happy that it's back to running strong.

It's funny how so many people call products snake oil and have never used any of them.

Glad it worked out. Good info. Thanks. Never thought of looking into risolene products.
