I Hate My Car!! So my normal oil pressure is right around 42-45ish..
Today i had less than a quarter tank of gas, i put $30 in and when i cranked up the oil pressure was right around 32-35 and the SES light came on.
I didnt notice anything unusual, if anything the car actually idled SMOOTHER after i filled up. If the light stays on tomorrow after school ill get it checked out. The autozone guys must be gettin pissed haha, i go in there about every 3 weeks asking for a scan

And I thought it was only BLKWS.6 who hated his car over every little issue or non-issue for that matter. You guys should start a "I hate my car club".

siphon out the tank, fill it up with 91+ OCTANE - not regular or plus - seafoam the entire car and change your fuel filter. you'll be surprised what that can do for your car.

I pretty much only fill up at the top brand places. Shell, Mobil, Chevron, QT. I filled up at a shitty place one time and my SES light came on. That was enough to make me spend the extra 2 cents to get good gas.
