First I Love this new set up, but I can't seem to search more than 1 word in search line ( testing & oil pressure for example will list both, but as separate entries)

How do I test my oil pressure, where is the connector on the sho?

I have ticking, knocking kinda. The oil light just starting flickering the other day (oddly it does it mostly going around corners, turning in parking lots. But has done it on straight way too, getting off the highway, taking off at green light, etc.)

I always get oil change done on time, except this last time I was 200 - 300 miles past it. I was using only Castrol 5w30 year round, but the next day I had the oil changed and decided to use Castrol 5w30 high mileage.

The oil light flickering is still there, I thought that maybe the oil break down would cause the flickering. But listening clearly I can hear a ticking type.

My sister mechanic say something about rod bearings and oil pump. It the noise is a low oil pressure indicator. But not sure about pump, without a pressure test. Say he doesn't have the correct fittings for my Sho.

Don't want my Sho do die so what are my steps to figure out what going on?

:huh: :confused: :doh: :cry: :headbang: :jpshakeh: :hail:

Stop driving it! Do a search on rod bearings and you'll see why. The "idiot" light comes on only after the pressure drops extremely low. With the description you provided, get it fixed before you drive any further!
