Oil pressure gauge now reads 0 all the time. Just quit randomly. Oil level is fine as I just got it changed yesterday and gauge started saying 0 last week.

Engine sounds fine and normal, so I assume it is the oil pressure sensor or some wiring, correct?

Cel is on too

My gauge started doing funky stuff right before one of my lifter went out. Hopefully yours is just the sensor

Put a real mechanical gauge on the engine. If that reads low or 0 you have real issues

yes, I had the shop replace all of the lifters on the side that the bad lifter was on. it ended up being $1500 when all was said and done. Like Lee said, though, put a tester on it to make sure that your oil pressure is good or if it really is 0. If the oil pressure is good then you're most likely alright but it might not be a bad idea to do a compression test as well.

And I don't have any low oil pressure messages, good or bad? I'll go to a shop Monday.

Or can I do the pressure test at home?

The best part about hitting the road at 5am is that they're empty :). I love driving!
