There was a guy on here that posted a picture of an expensive BMW M5 that lost its Engine OIL cap..
The owner deciced to plug the fill hole with a SOCK.
Needless to say, the engine ate the sock and it worked its way into the oiling system and anywhere it could have wound its guts around stuff that spins.
Chauk up one BMW M5 engine!

For the record, I didn't leave a rag in the pan. There wasn't enough material for it to be a rag. Carry on 
The ONLY two things that I have seen cause a ONE DAY GOOD to the next day BAD oil pressure reading is:
-The Pump "INTERNAL" Relief Valve gets stuck in the fully OPEN position.
- The O Ring between the pump and pick up tube fails (this usually happens as a result of poor reassembly)
Need to add... some jackass leaving a rag in the oil pan

Sorry nullpointer... didn't mean for that to look like it was aimed at you... was meant to be in general... jackass was probably a poor word to use anyway... I think I'll go edit that statement, it wasn't exactly what I meant to say...
