Oil Alarm & light loss of pressure
« on: 08 December 2007, 14:43:43 »
 :-? Have recently picked up the Yank version (Catera) of the V6 with 77k miles.  Needed the cam cover gasket job and breathers fixed. Followed the brilliant guidelines on the site and car still has a clear miss.  I am waiting on the new coil to arrive.  During service installed new plugs and wires.  On the way home last night all was well till I pulled off the motor way and came to a stop at the light.  Heard a bell and the oil light came on. Panic - nursed it out of traffic and noticed the oil pressure fluctuating.  Checked the oil all was well - no foam and level good.  tried to nursed it the four miles home seemed to have plenty of power no smoke but parked it as soon as I arrived.  Have been scowering the site for help possible oil cooler failure?  Life is very complicated right now could sure use some direction to get the vehicle back on the road rapidly.

Many thanks in advance, BB
