I entered a limited access highway (RT 100) my right foot got a cramp, I could not lift it off the go fast pedal. After the car went past 80 MPH (man did that cramp hurt) The first traffic light at the end of the highway turned Yellow. In my hast to stop I stood on the brakes. When the car came to a stop my oil pressure gage went to 0 (ZERO). The car stopped hard! I noticed my Check Gages Light was lit up. I think all the oil washed forward in the pan and the pickup went dry?
But the Check Gages light was on, I guess because of the oil pressure?
