I just started my WS6 and no oil pressure. I have been reading about the sending unit and an o-ring on the pickup tube. This car is bone stock and only 20k miles. Should I be worried about the oil pump? or is it most likely the sending unit? Sending unit looks like a pain to change. Can the oil pan be taken off with the motor in the car? I hate to drive it this way. I am really itching to drive it tomorrow, but don't wanna smoke the motor. I think I will start the car, look down the filler tube and see if oil is flowing.

Please give me your thoughts!

It could be your Oil pressure sending unit, its located behind the intake, You can reach it if you snake your hand back there just right, but you need a special socket to get it off.

ok, so I feel like a total douche....I was looking at the coolant temp gauge. Oil pressure is fine. But.....the check gauges light is on and I don't know why. All the gauges are working fine. Thoughts?

Check DTC codes with scanner or Autozone

ok, so my check gauges light was on. All gauges were operating. I filled up this morning and the check gauges light went off. I thought this car had a warning light or something for low fuel? Apparently the check gauges light comes on when the fuel is low? I am just glad it isn't on anymore.

Yep, check gauges light will come on when your fuel level is very low.
