oil pressure
Well my coolant leak is fixed and now the oil pressure seems to be high. I changed the oil as usual but this time I used a fram tough guard filter (silver) instead of the regular orange fram that I get. The pressure goes to about the second line from the top and down to about half a idle. Could the filter cause a spike in the pressure? I use castrol high milage 10w/30 oil. Thanks........1SG

Fram isn't junk. I've tried almost every brand of oil filter and I can tell you there are many filters out there worse than Fram! That being said, check the oil pressure switch. They are not very strong and don't last. Mine became brittle and actually broke when I changed my oil. You can easily hit it accidentally when you change your oil. With a faulty oil pressure switch it'll throw off the guage. The oil pressure switch is plugged into the oil pan.

freeze the sensor in the oil pan is the oil level sensor. oil pressure sensor on the 94 to 97 is at the back of the intake screwed into the block, the 93 is by the oil filter.
