>not checking shit manually yourself

Learned my lesson the hard way when the radiator busted a hole yet the temp gauge was "all good homie, same as it ever was" and ended up cooking the engine into oblivion on a road trip.

I have a love/hate relationship with 6.5 diesels now.

Rented it out to friend for prom. Wanted the shittiest looking car possible

>implying horses have oil lights

>>17527376
Still not good. Either get the oil pressure sensor checked out or figure out why it's not keeping pressure at idle.

Or with a car that old, just say "fuck it", start putting heavier weight oil in it and oil treatments and drive it until it blows up.
