Time to change oil pickup o-ring?

[wjburken]

Alright thanks y’all, I’ll do it soon. One other question I had is if I can reuse a new oil pan gasket. I had the pan gasket done (by a shop) last October and didn’t think at the time to tell them to replace this o-ring. So can I reuse that gasket or get a new one?

For the price of a new gasket, I’d replace it.

The oil ring doesn’t know if it v8 or v4. Its only job is to make sure the sucking happens the correct way.

I'm now pretty sure I have the dreaded o-ring issue. Low (25-30) when cold and slowly goes up to 40-45 as engine heats up. Just replaced the sensor after seeing it peg at 80. What are the chances I have the o-ring issue?

The mechanic looked at it for $500 and filled the oil a bit and changed the connector on the sensor. The starting cold psi is now 32 instead of 25 but doesn't really go up with rpm. When the oil warms up I get 42-44 on the freeway. I think the O-ring is still leaking but not too bad at this point. I'll probably watch it for awhile and see what happens. $600 to change the O-ring.

$600 to replace the o-ring? I'm assuming he also replaced the oil pan gasket as well? He replaced the connector on what sensor?

Why do you think the o-ring is "still leaking"?

New gasket, new O-ring, I provide oil, filter, etc. I don't think he took that into account. Let's say $500. I still think it is leaking because the pressure is low when cold and doesn't go up to the relief valve pressure when cold and rev'd up a bit.
