Re: 1990 Chev Lumina Oil Pressure
Before you panic, if the engine isn't making any ticking or knocking noises, try changing the oil pressure sensor. It may be faulty and not sending a proper signal to the guage.

Re: 1990 Chev Lumina Oil Pressure
If you didn't have any oil pressure then I'm sure you would notice a serious loss of power. I agree with richtazz, it may just be the sensor.

Re: 1990 Chev Lumina Oil Pressure
Hi All
This is my girlfriends car. Where do we find the oil press sensor? Is there a way to manually check the pressure? Since the press is low on the guage we have been spooked to drive the car. Thanks for your input |
