Did the oil look milky?

stang fanatic · November 5th, 2006, 07:48 PM

if it was just bubbles...youre getting aeration of your oil. if its color is getting lighter rather than darker, its water

Would not automatically say your bearings are done just because of low oil pressure

Would not automatically say your bearings are done just because of low oil pressure. It's definately a possibilty but not always the case.

If your oil is aerated w/low oil pressure, then you have a loose or cracked p/up tube. I wouldnt worry so long as your maintaining good oil psi. It could also be something in the oil...are you running any additives?
