I assume that as you have the digital dash, that there is only an oil pressure warning light and no gauge.
When you start the car when it is cold and at idle, does the light come on or only after the engine has reached operating temp? |

only after it reached about a third of the temp gauge so operating temp.
Im gonna get a new oil pump and oil pressure switch anyway after what you said. |

If you have oil pressure when cold and then loose it when the engine is warmed up, I would say that your bottom end is stuffed (mains).

Main bearings, oil pump should be OK if its not full of metal.

Well shes back from the trusty ol' mechanic again and he believed it was the oil he put in, being too thin.
Replaced filters and new thicker oil.. lets see how we go. |
