Oil level is also a critical. An extra cup will cause the oil the oil to heat up and cause all sorts of oil pressure problems especially at hi speeds. Most of the oil light fixes after removing Fram filters were really fixes from removing that extra oil.

You know, I've been so busy lately that I had entirely missed the fact that the oil pressure issue seemed to have begun after the oil change - I don't htink I payed attention this time with the new oil change shop and weight - I think I'll work on that today as the coolant is holding steady and I read through the archives again on oil weight and filters...

I have a list of local mechanics - Petersons in Port Angeles, Louis in Seattle, Harmony in Bellingham, Import Auto in Seattle, Rudi's in Port Townsend - any others to add (or ideas on these)?

The debate rages on - if you are going to do one head gasket do thhe other, if you are going to pull the engine....it's worth it...you don't have to pull the engine....of course you can do just one! Get a rebuild, a Tiico, a Subaru, a new car...
