    Hi...

    Absolutely no qualification to speak to this, but just in case
    no one else noticed...

    Is it possible that 500 rpm is much too slow to turn the oil
    pump quickly enough to generate sufficient oil pressure?

    Should he perhaps be looking at "why so slow" first?

    Just a thought..

    That's why you check for fault codes and since the oil lite is on at idle
    you may want to perform oil pressure test, then you take it from there

    i would place a good mechinal gauge in place of the oil pressure sensor
    then test drive hot and cold
    may be it justs needs a new sender

    The advice is still the same. Replace oil pressure switch. Check oil
    pressure with a gage. This is a very common problem - is almost always
    an out of cal. pressure switch - but just in case, verify that oil
    pressure is still in spec. Worry about the bearings etc. after doing
    the other things first. Why are we having to repeat this?

    Heh! Reminds me of the poster of the 60's - charicature of a scraggly
    old vulture sitting in a tree looking over the countryside - the caption
    was (vulture talking): "Patience my ass! I'm going to kill something!"

    Come on - I could have been a *lot* nastier. :)
