Has anyone else ever had a malfunctioning Oil Pressure light?

I think everyone should somehow check to make sure their lights are working before the same thing happens to you as what happened to me.

From now on, I will always have an oil pressure gauge in my future cars.

I believe the lamp illuminates on KOEO?

What went wrong with your car now.

 

Let's just say there was half a quart in the oil pan, and I had no prior warning.

 

haha, damn man that sucks.

you had no clue that oil was leaking? How does 4.5quarts just disappear?

 

Not sure. It isn't leaking and it isn't burning, so I have reason to suspect that it wasn't completely filled when I had my last oil change ~1000mi ago

 

mmm, very very possible that they forgot to put oil in it. that sucks. good thing your looking for a new car anyway then.

 

lol I'm not trading it in without fixing it again lol

I'm putting the engine back together tonight!

 

Did you get your GM bearings?

 

I guess I missed out on some important details in this story ahaha. I had no idea you were replacing bearings.

 

Yup, went to the dealer today

The parts guy made a comment like "Wow! Don't get people coming in here asking for those very often"

Then he pulled up the bearings on the computer and **** his pants when it said they had a single set in stock!

I can only imagine how long it must have been sitting on the shelves for...

 

Hack has another thread where he asked for bearing part numbers......

 

Like I said, I'm not trading it in with a messed up engine

btw, it's part #12591093, cost just over $45

 

Not a bad price at all. And yea, I didnt see the thread asking for the part numbers.

Pardon my asking, why didnt you just change the oil yourself?

I live in an apartment complex in the city. Also I have no oil draining pan or a jack. It's just easier to spend twenty bucks to bring the car to a garage.

 

Have to make a note of that ...my parts database shows 12591092...

 

Those are the crank bearings, not the rod bearings, there's a difference.

 

Good...then my parts database is correct...I thought we were talking about the crank bearings...

 

Ahh, I see makes sense now. But where are you doing the bearing replacement at then?

 

My buddy cleaned out his garage and put his weekend toy out into the driveway for a week.
