Oil pressure acting weird
The owners manual does NOT call for 5w/20. It specifies 5w/30. I would switch to the proper viscosity.
With that said, I'm not implying this will fix the issues your seeing, but it needs to be done none the less.

just checked my maunal and 5w30 or 10w30 is the only thing recommended.
stupid *** ford truck i own uses 5w20... ****... is that bad that i put that in mine
... could explain why it looses pressure when it heats up by the visc. not being thick enough ****... well i'll change it today along with my fuel filter hope the filter fixes my hesitation and the oil change fixes the gauge... stupid mistake i've changed the oil a million times but when i changed the truck the days before i went thinking it was 5w20 holy
can't believe i did that **** Good to hear man. I was hopin a simple oil change would solve your issue too. I'm a big fan of always starting with the simpliest fix. The sending unit would have been next but a oil change is by far easier, LOL. Especially if you have never messed with the oil pressure sending unit. It's a tempermental little POS.
lmao just like my car put money and money and money into it and it's like a bad date that don't put out lol... o well i still like it... now to hurry up and get this air force tech school thing done with so i can come back and spray the lil bitch
