Hey guys I'm kinda down kinda pissed. As the title says I have low oil pressure again. I was on my way to the tuner yesterday to get an updated tranny tune and looked down at the gauges and noticed I was at roughly 15 psi at the stop light. So I went ahead and went to the tuner and noticed the lifters sounded louder then usual. So I got my new tranny tune from the tuner and drove home and also noticed my high pressure of 50 psi at cruising was now at 30 psi. So here I am at home all depressed so I changed my oil. Nothing in the oil so that's good. So I went on a test drive today and all of the sudden my oil pressure was back. So I pull over to change my tune on the tranny a little turn the car off and then restarted it with the new tranny tune and my oil pressure was back to 15 psi again at idle and 30 psi at cruising. So I don't know what to think. Is the oil pressure relief valve in the pump going screwy or what? Also I have the melling 10355hv pump. Any ideas?
