And has it only just begun, dang, another song, since the last oil change? If so, I would put in a new oil filter.


Ha! You're quick with the songs this morning. I saw the Carpenters in the Quad Cities around 1974; that was a great concert. I had a crush on Karen....

Have access to a scanner that shows live data? Just to rule out a wonky gauge.
My brother does, but he is 60 miles away. Probably worth the trip. I’ll get him to check it.

Or get one from Amazon and they'll deliver it later today or tomorrow! Does Walmart carry them? I dunno.

This. Especially with how cheap they are, they're always handy. It's been a while since I've researched, but, last I knew, it seemed that the ~20-$40 bluetooth dongles that synched with your phone were some of the best options as far as capabilities.

You could set it up, pull up the oil pressure display, hold your phone next to your gauge cluster and start the engine. If the gauge shows "0" but the PCM is reporting normal pressure, then you've found your problem.

*EDIT* I think the "Torque" app is what the cool kids are using these days.

I use Torque, my cool kids use something compatible with their apple phones! LOL
