Subject:      Redline oil admendum

As I was further going through the archives checking on anything about oils and possible weight problems - I noticed that some people who had had weight problems were able to get the buzzer to shut off. In my case, once the buzzer goes on, it doesn't shut off til you turn the ignition off. This kind of goes against those people's expereinces with too low a visocity oil as they could get the buzzer to shut off my revving the engine usually or letting it drop down to an idle...

I left my Bentley at the shop so I cannot look for some IC in the line that might start ignoring the low pressure sensor once the rpms drop below the 2000 mark. I realize this is all kind of sketchy info and that I can do a bit more testing myself (to see if the sensor ever closes or opens - need to check which again), but the van is about 40 miles away in a friend's warehouse space and I would like to give them back their living room today if possible...
