162,000 miles. Engine stalled in traffic. I opened hood and saw the oil cooler line had popped off the radiator, dumping oil all over the left side. I pushed it back on. The engine cranked slowly, but after a couple minutes restarted and was able to pull off to the side. and reset the clip in the oil cooler line and added 4 quarts. Drove home ok, scared to death.
I pulled the filter and cut it open. There were small metallic flakes in the filter, scraped some out, but I could not feel them between my fingers.
Oil pressure is still over 40, where's it's always been. Seems to run ok.
I'm hoping the GM 90degree cast iron pushrod V6 will live up to its reputation and forgive me.
I read somewhere the zero oil pressure sensing will shut off the fuel pump, but that did not seem to happen in this case.
Anyone have similar experience?
