2006 H3 155K miles 3.5L I5 w/5w-30 full synthetic. The oil pressure warning has been going off at idle when warmed up. Every time you say "oil pressure" the first thing out of people's mouths seems to be "oil pump", but why would it be OK cold and not warm? The timing kit was done at about 115K, I thought the pump got replaced with that but I could be mistaken (was not me). I can't quit thinking that the bearings/journals are shot and that I'm totally boned. Any thoughts on this?
ps Yes I tried a manual gauge, don't have a stinking adapter that threads properly so I am not sure how accurate the reading was but it dipped right down to about 10 when I got it on there. The previous sensor was bad (oil dripped out when I pulled the pigtail :whaa but a new one is in there now. I have a DMM, any way to test the new sensor?
