Hey Guys,

I just serviced my car, among other things I changed the oil filter and switched from the full synthetic Penrite 5 to the regular Penrite semi-synth 5 HPR stuff.

I fill the engine up with oil and turn her over and let the sweet golden juices work through, turn the engine off and check the levels, everythings ok. I then hop in to go for abit of a drive and notice there's no pressure, everythings up tight, no leaking and car is running super smooth. This have never happened before but I've never used the Penrite Semi-Synth 5 before just wondering if that could effect any form of pressure sensor?? Waked idea I know but I'm outta any other ideas.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks
Sam

i should think if you really had lost oil pressure you would have spun a bearing by now.
make sure the plug for the pressure sensor hasn't fallen off because they do when you play with the filters

I just went out and checked, I knew the sensor wire was still connected, but at closer inspection the copper wire seems to have just snapped from the connector. Easy fix.

Thanks bobo
