I had low oil pressure and that was really worrying me. The other day I bought some Lucas oil for the heck of it and put about 1/2 qt in. I drove about 90 miles until I noticed that the pressure was back up. I hear that people have said it's bad for your engine over time, but what I may do is toward the end of the oil usage period, I'll add in a little bit of Lucas oil to keep it working well.

I've heard some good things about Seafoam too. I'll probably try using that sometime when I have the chance.

Your oil is probably getting thinned out and adding new oil will always help increase the viscosity. Try doing an oil change with 20/50, run for a few hours or a day and do another 20/50 oil change. This will clean the motor out good enough. Sea foam is good suff but it caused some problems on a few friends rigs. It definately cleans well but can toss the crap around the engine and cause clogs etc.
Wheel it like you stole it!

when i had my problem it was the oil pressure sending unit pressure was fine ,took no chances and replaced the unitI had low oil pressure and that was really worrying me. The other day I bought some Lucas oil for the heck of it and put about 1/2 qt in. I drove about 90 miles until I noticed that the pressure was back up.
