Fans stay on and oil pressure Hey guys, I have a 98 WS6 and after 20-30 minutes of driving my oil pressure drops to 1/8 of the full level and when I turn my car off the cooling fans stay on for 10-15 minutes (gauge doesnt report car overheating, coolant is also full) does anyone have any idea what is causing this?? Thanks.

How does it run?
Very low oil pressure can be a sign of high operating temperature. I’ve never heard of the fans staying on after shut down. Is the "check gauges" light on after the 15 minutes with the engine running? Forgetting the temperature gauge in the gauge cluster, is the engine overheating? How’s your fuel usage milage? Can you scan the PCM to look at the temperature? It gets its reading from a different sensor than the gauge.
