Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I changed oil from 0w40 to 5w50 but that didn't have any effect on the pressure - it's still the same 1.0-1.1.

My idle oil pressure dropped to 1.0 - 1.1 (which is within normal but that sudden drop is suspicious) at some point during the spring and I don't know if it relates to replacing alternator etc or to those weakened oil pressure valve springs etc.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As I have potentially a similar issue as here : strange oil pressure after new AOS install My idle oil pressure dropped to 1.0 - 1.1 (which is within normal but that sudden drop is suspicious) at some point during the spring and I don't know if it relates to replacing alternator etc or to those weakened oil pressure valve springs etc. I changed oil from 0w40 to 5w50 but that didn't have any effect on the pressure - it's still the same 1.0-1.1. If I get a manual gauge is there a guide available how to measure that?
