Oil System Pressure

[Ingo D. Rautenberg]

Hmm.  The 4000's had pressure switches which would eventually go south, but
I'm not aware of this with the 200.  You are using the OEM oil filter,
right?  If it was just the guage, then I might suspect internal leaking of
the sending unit (BTDT with my v8q).  Oil pressure is rarely a problem.
Have you checked the oil level?  I know you just did an oil change, but a
valve cover gasket leak and /or valve seals can drain the oil real fast.
Better safe than sorry.
