'95 Oil pressure problem
The car isn't driven much during the summer due to my summer toy. However, about a month back I was driving it and it was dinging at me and looked at the gauges and it was low on oil pressure (in the red). Went for the quick and cheap fix first and did an oil change (maybe filter was clogged). This fixed the problem, but only temporarily. After about an hour and a half of diving time the pressure dropped and the car was dinging at me. Someone that "works on cars" at this car show I was at said that since it’s a 95 Bonneville that it this could be caused by the main bearings being bad. Is this more possible then I think or would a bad/clogged pump be a better guess? Any speculations?
PS: There are no SES or Oil lights on (other then the dinging).

Re: '95 Oil pressure problem
Change the oil pressure sending unit or replace the unit with a manual oil pressure guage to see if the guage is giving you wrong readings. Just because it is a 95 does not necessarily mean that the main bearings are going bad. The only other thing that may be causing it would possibly be failure of the oil pump. I would try the guage first to see what is actually happening with the oil pressure.
