FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I ATTRIBUTE THAT TO USING SYNTHETIC OIL INSTEAD OF REGULAR OIL. THE OIL PRESSURE GUAGE DROPPED TO 0 THEN WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HOPE I GOT IT INTO THE DEALER IN TIME. THE DEALER THINKS I DID. THE DEALER CLAIMS THE PROBLEM IS SLUDGE CAUSED BY TOO INFREQUENT OIL CHANGES. I CHANGED THE OIL WITHIN THE GUIDELINES LISTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. PLUS, SYNTHETIC OILS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE SAME SLUDGE PROBLEMS AS REGULAR OILS ARE. DEALER DROPPED THE PAN, REPLACE THE SCREEN AND OIL PUMP AND CLEANED AS BEST THEY COULD. COST $809. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I'VE OWNED (33 YEARS) THAT HAS EVER HAD A SLUDGE PROBLEM. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THIS PROBLEM. DT
