mike im not, just stating that most times the presure has dropped in a engine means the engines fucked,,,,,,, ok you find the problem but theres a good chance its too late
ok a few reasons it may help.... but most times its just gonna get you paranoid
ps: yes i have a oil presure gauge in my car anyway
a alarm is a great idea,,,,, but whats the most comon reason for the oil presure to be low ?
