i changed my oil maybe at the most about 1000 miles ago, and my oil pressure hits 0 and the light comes on when im decelerating and coming to a full stop. i used castrol gtx 5w-40 since texas heat is pretty strong. i checked my dipstick and oil still has that gold hue to it, its not black. and its not low. my car is an 05 6mt with 60k miles on it...should i just add another quart and be done wtih it? or is this something i should worry about?

 

If it's not low (per the dipstick) then DON'T add another quart. It's most likely that you have a problem with the oil pressure sending unit.

 

only mods to engine are megan racing tp's and greddy spectrum catback....when i first changed the oil my car would smoke a good amount when first turned on, but now that my levels are low on the gauge i no longer smoke...can the TP's be causing my car to burn oil fast? plz help

 

Motor oil did not damage the pressure gage.

 

Its the oil pressure sensor

 

should be a easy enough fix.
