Re: oil pressure goin crazy

Did you check the oil level?

Who ever changed your earl must have damaged the oil pressure sending unit which is right near the oil filter. Very easy to damage if not careful.

since you have an aftermarket line running off the oil pressure sending unit, they might say they arent liable and thats what caused it. Just my tho
