Need someone to get me pointed in the right direction. I have only driven the Wagon in my neighborhood 1 to 3 miles at a time. it would come up to temperature, and the oil pressure was always the same. once warmed up,(185f.) I would have 12 to 13 psi @ idle, and 45 psi under acceleration. These numbers are with an electric Auto Meter oil pressure gauge, the sender screwed into the block near the oil filter.
Today I took it out on the road, and drove it for 30 miles. Stop and go, cruising speed(45mph), and out on the interstate at (75mph). Oil pressure was good the whole time.
Later in the day I drove it ten miles to a friends house, all was fine on the way to his house. On my way home I noticed the pressure not rising under acceleration, it was staying around 25psi. and when I would come to a complete stop, it would drop down to near zero. (never made any noise like it had low oil pressure. Total trip was 20 miles.
