What weight oil are you running in the car? Does the drop in oil pressure coincide with the engine getting warmer?

ah yeap...lol..I was to excited about it being in India. An EF is just a want-a-be ED anyway : Relax that was a joke John.

Maybe this should be moved into the e-series section to get a better response.

Could be a leaky hose right through to a filter not done up properly... or the dreaded gasket. Not sure how spare parts would be where you are, but I'm Sunny would post internationally. Great to see more worldwide members.

Tis Sundeep here.

I saw a NC Fairlane in India once. I just looked at it and thought "who can be ****ed?", because you wouldn't really want to be in the same position as Arun now would you! All the way in a different country with possibly a cooked motor or oil pump, with no one who can fit a new one IF you can even get one!!!

I'll come fix it mate, just pay my airfare and all expenses!

Sundeep
