Every time you start it "Knock, Knock, Knock" until oil pressure builds up. Then as you drive along you can only hear it when you pass something with your windows down, unless you get above 4grand then you can hear it all the time.

I forgot to check the oil for two months after we got back from vacation. Every freeway interance is a long sweeping right hand turn and I have a horrible time keeping my foot out of the gas when no one is in front of me. Needless to say I have gotten the light several times. The other times I had full oil and it was just a brief flicker. This time it came on strong.

What would everyone think about an electric conversion?

If you do a 3L hybrid does the engine end up with the same problem of not letting the oil out of the head fast enough?




Yes it ends up with the same problem, hybrids are useless now days. Although back before the 2001 motors were available, it was the only option. Grab a 2001+ 3L and call it a day. Good luck
