1987 Volkswagen VANAGON 2.1 L

Trans: Automatic Mileage: 55,412 mi VIN: WV2YB0255HH038487

Affected Item: LUBRICATION SYSTEM

___________________________ FIX: ___________________________

Thanks for the help. Most guys recommended draining the oil and filling with 20/50. This raised the oil pressure about four lbs. at idle and six lbs. at 2000 rpm. Dash lights stayed off even after 20 minutes running.

____________________ ORIGINAL MESSAGE: _____________________

Oil press. warning light comes on intermittently. Bosch filter(#72150) and 10-30 wt. are used. Before we pull the pump does anybody have any suggestions as to how to isolate the problem

Thanks, Dan
