The dreaded oil pressure light definitely the light that i do not want to see. This can cause the most damage and the fastest way to kill it engine. So i found a real easy way to fix this problem i simply drain out the oil and I take this pic and I start to feel underneath the oil filler tube.

Then I use a toothbrush and I get in there and i scrub that screen really good. So then what I do is I close it all up then I'm going to take off the oil filter and put a tube right in the center of the where the oil filter goes.

Ok now what I'm going to do is I take some clean kerosene and I go ahead and I get a pump and I start pumping it through this tube from where the oil filter was connected. And this is going to push more kerosene down onto that screen go ahead and pour more down the oil and then in the morning go ahead and dump out that kerosene and you're going to see a lot of grit come out and because of the night of soaking this is really going to help clean it. Now this is the grit that's the problem and this is causing that low oil pressure.

So this was truly a quick fix I mean usually it's like two to three days because the oil pan off so 20 minutes doing this that's great. So go ahead and put the oil back in the car and at this point go ahead and turn on the car and there's no oil light so everything seems to be working great.
