    I own a 93' S10 4.3 V6, it recently had its oil sensor replaced because it was pinning itself at 80 PSI. The truck was working fine for about two weeks after the fix, after the two weeks the pressure started reading around 30 while driving and 0 at idle after warming up. I took it to the shop...

    Hello everyone,(4.3 v6 96k miles, and oil change done 3 weeks ago) heading to work today noticed my oil pressure around this range. Is it ok to be that low instead of being in the middle, any suggestions or gauge just being stupid. Or is it normal?(This was after a 30 minute drive all warmes up)

    Hello I have a 2000 S-10 2.2L with 216,500 miles. I just was noticing at that the oil pressure gauge was dropping a couple weeks ago when coming to a stop sign.

    1995 2.2 rwd 138k miles I had a problem pop up about 15k miles ago where the oil pressure would drop low enough at an idle to trip the "check gages" light. It would only drop this low if the oil was scalding hot after driving on the highway and only at a complete stop. I noticed a small oil...

    My 2002 s10 ls 4x2 manual 4 cylinder. The oil pressure is always reading so high and after a while it goes back down to 60 or 40 when idling. Anybody else have this issue? Could it be the oil pressure sender? Recently did an oil change and nothing changed. Car feels good so idk if it could be a...

    1994 GMC Sonoma 4.3L vortec Z vin At 166K miles, my engine is now starting to drop in oil pressure. Start cold idle at 50PSI. After it's warmed, it will idle at 40 PSI, and above 1K RPM, its 45PSI. But it seems these days, after an hour of driving, my oil pressure slowly drops, and by the time I...

    99 s10 noisy rough engine, losing oil pressure, truck dying I just bought a 99 Chevy s10. We bought it, and it was working great. As soon as we got onto the highway, we noticed the oil pressure drop to 0 and the truck dying. We were able to restart it, and start driving again. A few miles down...

    I just changed my oil and filter. Long story short I goofed and damaged the sending unit while trying to get at the filter from above. I replaced the sending unit, checked that the oil level was correct, fired it up only to find that my oil pressure was almost 80. Please advise. My oil...
  11. S10 / Sonoma
    so I recently changed the intake manifold gasket and I changed the oil from the milky coffee to fresh oil but my oil pressure gauge doesn't move when I start the truck. It wont move at all. Could this be a gauge issue or an oil pump issue? The truck doesn't over heat anymore and seems to idle...
