Unfortunately the sending unit is probably fine, I forgot to mention that I
blew the oil cooler gasket with the oil light not working, I drove about 15
min with no oil or little oil, never overheated though.
Anyway I'm looking for a gauge or set of gauges and a way to lengthen the
life of my 2.0L.
Chances are that you've done some damage, then.
I think that dropping the pan and cleaning the screen is a good idea,
Worth the effort, maybe. Probably not.
thanks. I guess I should have the oil pump looked at also ?
Have the oil pump looked at. If it's OK and gages show that you have
low oil pressure, you're looking at a rebuilt engine, at the very
least a rebuilt bottom end (hopefully the cams aren't wiped out).
Adding stuff to your oil ain't gonna fix a busted motor, I'm afraid.
