1983 regal 3.8 oil problemdanielabeyta 11-13-2004, 09:00 PM When i turn on the car the oil/clutch light comes on. If the oil pressure is low does anyone know how much a oil pump is for one of these and how hard is it to put in. Also could it just be a crappy sensor??? public 11-13-2004, 10:03 PM This engine had some serious oil related problems back then. Yes it could be a bad sensor. The oil pump is an easy job as the pump is external-on the front of the engine. The pick up tube is very long. You must fill the pump with vasoline prior to installation. I have NEVER seen another engine where this "vasoline" was required. Good Luck. sierrap615 11-14-2004, 01:17 AM You must fill the pump with vasoline prior to installation.

Good Luck. all engines i know of require the oil pump to be primed with vasoline to prevent a dry startup. this is out of a saturn FSM - http://www.saturnfans.com/photos/showphoto.php/photo/15857/ AZeline 12-15-2004, 03:04 AM Can't you just put some gear oil in? public 12-15-2004, 06:24 PM We always just used a little axle grease. Not a solid plug of vasoline. But that is what the book said so that is what we did. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
