0 oil pressure?
So I was driving the car and the oil pressure dropped to zero. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this a mechanical or an electrical problem? How do I fix it?
Thanks in advance for the help.

PS: o by the way you should be able to twist it right off, it screws into the back of the intake so if it's not to hard you should be able to screw it off with your hands, but iam not garanting that .

I just got done breaking off my oil pressure sender when installing my LS6 intake.. It too like a 27 mm socket or something like that to get the old one off.. then i have trouble getting the new one on tight enough because the socket wouldn't fit over the whole sending unit.. It wasn't hand tight when i took it off though.. Might be tough to get to... good luck

one time my oil pressure would jump up and down...when my opti was goin out in my LT1, but it just died..the second it hit 0 then i had to start it up again as long as i was moving it was good though so i switched to 10W-30 intsead of 5W-30 and It fixed it right up...
the One time it died i was carefully opening the hood cuz i was expecting to see
