Re: oil pressure ?
Is your oil pressure guage accurate? I would hook up a mechanical test guage and go for a ride to verify if your engine actually has low oil pressure or if you have a bad guage or sender.

Re: oil pressure ?
what oil are you running.. YOu might have to go to a straight weight oil now or get the oil formulated for engines over 75,000 miles.. It might work you never know...
