Hello all,,
First post on here.
I am in the need of a manual (step by step) on pulling the oil pan with engine still in frame.
I have read many threads of folks having same issue of the oil gauge falling to 0.
I have replaced oil pressure sensors, no fix.
I have dealt with this awhile, first drained oil and to my surprise it was like something you would find in the bottom of a marsh, this 3 weeks after i just had it serviced at a local oil change shop.
That's another story for another time
Any ways after 5 oil changes and filters with in 6 weeks, I continue to have the oil pressure drop to Zero, I know its not just gauges if you leave it running for a period of time the lifter will start to sing to you. I actually cut some of the filters open to find a lot of residue crud in them.
Every time I drain oil I get a lot of fine fine residue, kind like a varnish look.
So my next step I assume will be to drop pan and clean lower engine out and service the oil pick up screen,
I believe i am getting a plugged off screen issue.
When it does this you can set for around 5 minutes and start it up and 40lbs on the oil gauge but you drive it for a-bit and you can see the gauge just gradually drop to 0.
Any help would be appreciated greatly,
Thank you Wes
