Hi there to be on the safe side you should have the oil pressure tested with an external gauge, this is screwed into the oil pressure switch port and a true oil pressure reading is given, with this information you will know if you have any real concerns.

Thanks for your reply Mark (mhpautos) but where would I get an external oil pressure gauge? Any suggestions
as to where I could borrow one without actually having to buy it?

Hi there,

I would ring your local workshop, they should charge only about 1/2 Hr to test. Or try local spare parts shop and see what they have, ask any mechanically minded friends they may be able to help. As I am in Australia, I'm not sure as to what services you can contact there for the hire of this tester.
