It could just be your Oil Pressure Sensor .

I'd have it checked out by your dealer ASAP.

:cheers:

probably your oil pressure sending unit. If you "really" had no oil pressure you would know it with the quickness :yesnod:

I just did a post on this, but mine was the opposite, my oil pressure was reading 130 psi all the time. Turns out its the oil pressure sending unit.
