ok, so driving my 02 c2 down the freeway.. the following popped up
(i believe anyway.. it went away quickly): "check failure" and the oil can symbol.

my oil pressure bounced from 5-1, then leveled off at just below 5. i pulled off freeway to restart, check oil level, etc. all was well. pressure was 2 at idle.

no check engine lights.. also, just had oil change. was able to drive, but oil pressure seemed to be high and fluctuated at frwy speeds from 4-5 at same rpm with cruise control on.

thank god for cpo... off to dealer in the am.

WTF? anyone else have anything like this happen?

 

I had that happen. I restarted and it's been fine since then (about 8 months ago).

 

Had the same issue. Just cleaned the wires from my oil sending unit thanks to a fellow 6speeder and haven't had any problems yet.

 

oil sending unit is failing or wires need cleaning

 

thx dudes, it's on the rack at the dealer. should be back on the road today after a cpo fix (god willing)

 

result: i need a new cluster for a faulty oil pressure guage. luckily it's cpo fix! engine is fine, no codes. whew!
