I'm still wondering about flushing engines in general. Couldn't the bits of sludge that get dislodged cause even more harm wherever they end up or am I just being paranoid?

Happy Christmas!
No problem about the misunderstanding. Yes I agree that flushing oil system could also cause problems but in this engine I would make sure sure it is not a wiring or sensor problem by verifying with a mechanical gauge and oil presssure is low I would consider doing a flush and take my chances versus just letting it go and wait for the engine to fail.

Happy Holiday's
