Believe what you want. Ignorance is bliss I guess. You are wrong on your assumption period. Now really what would an oil pressure guage have to do with oil level? Nothing. And if you are trying to say well if the oil level is low the pomp would suck air causing the pressure to be lower then you are once again wrong.quote:

I find this suspect. An "idiot light" comes on when the oil is low. If not low, it is off. How can my oil gauge then be on all the time when the car is running? I would think the needle would go lower if the oil is going low. But my car burns nor leaks any oil so I can't say.quote:

Buford. What he says is true. Your gauge will read the same regardless of the pressure ..as long as it has pressure. It's a light with a needle for an indicator. It may change slightly due to the change in resistance of the wire as it warms.
It has two states ...no reading ..and where ever it ends up with current going through it. It's blind and numb/dumb.

That is because oil pressure has to build again once you have drained the system. That 2 seconds is what it takes for the fluid to fill the lines, and the filter again and build pressure.quote:

No actually I've been an Indiana State Trooper for the last 27 years.quote:
