So I changed the oil and filter in my Bugeye yesterday. The car has a 1275 engine and still has the canister/cartridge type filter. Started it and and oil pressure came up as normal. I drove to the gas station and topped off the fuel. Everything seemed fine.
It got a little colder today, and I decided to take the car to a nearby storage unit that I keep it in during bad weather. The car started fine, but the oil pressure needle never moved. I shut it down and popped the bonnet. No obvious signs of major oil leakage. Checked the dipstick, and it has oil.
I plan to disconnect the line to the oil pressure gauge tomorrow and see if any oil comes out when I crank it. Any ideas what the issue could be other than failed gauge or oil pump?
Thanks,
Kurt
