the pressure on my dash gauge stays around the first tick. but when it is cold it is at the half way mark then as it warms up it drops. even going down the road at 70 mph it is only at the first tick but and at idal it is right above the red mark after the zero so i am guessing its the oil pump the motor has 189,000 miles on it but runs great could it be the gauge?

watch out for melling pumps. They had a bad batch last summer and mine failed out with 137 miles on it. Looked around and a few other people had trouble with them failing. It may be fixed but I go with a gm unit from now on.
