Ron - Don't panic yet. Plumb in a good quality mechanical gauge along with
the current oil light sending unit to see what the oil pressure is really
like. A gauge with a 270 sweep and a top end reading of 100 psi should do
it. Now you can compare actual values to the book recommendations and see
what's next. Wish for a bad oil pressure sending unit! I was horrified when
I had "0" psi on a 120 H.P. Deere farm tractor. A new sending unit restored
the pressure back to 60 psi.
