Any reason in particular you say that. Maybe I'm missing a reason that I might be low (even though the dipstick was a bit on the lowside, it was on a grade too so I ned to level it out and check). And I'm doing ATF, oil cahnge, oil and fuel filter change, getting some simple green to clean the engine bay, a nice smooth car washing mit, some soap, wax, paint restorer etc etc, some interior stuff, and most importantly of all spark plugs, wires, my insurance money, the tire, and get my brake pads changed.

If you'll notice.... the car isn't on, so his oil pressure should of course read zero.

sorry to stray from topic...but im curious...when does the Shift Up light come on while your driving? is it supposed to come on when you hit redline? the only time i see mine come on is when i turn the key to the on position...

I have the buzzer although it shifts at about 6300RPM from 1st slush to 2nd slush, so I only hit it when revving in park/neutral. And I only went that high twice, I usually just go up to 6k

According to the owners manual on my old TII it was only supposed to be a reference for best fuel economy. If you were just driving normally it would come on at like 3-4K, but if you floored it, it would just go off.

just like jr said.
the rev limiter/buzzer supposes to happen at red-line.
but it was "fixed" along with the 'shift up' light to prevent distractions at 9k RPMS

Well damn, that's great Node. That's been a long time coming.

Grab a bottle of Simple Green for the engine bay.

Even if it didn't, his voltmeter would read 14, not 12. Unless the alternator's gone too
