For a little background, I have a 2000 Camaro with a 3.8L V6, the car has approximately 73,000 miles, I just replaced the head gasket approximately 500 miles ago.
I was coming home from work yesterday ending my 38 mile mostly highway trip, as I was slowing down on the off ramp my “check gauges” light came on. I looked at my gauges and noticed the oil gauge was at zero. The motor was not knocking or making any unusual noise, the engine temp was normal. I rev’ed the motor increasing the engine RPM and kept the oil pressure up for the 2 miles until I pulled into the driveway. I shut the car off and went to do the errands I had planned. I started the car later that night and the oil pressure remained at 60lbs for about 35 minutes, then the oil pressure dropped and the “check gauges” light came on again and began to flicker. The motor did not make any noise or begin to heat up(temp stayed at 210).
My question what do you think could be my problem? oil pump? Regulator?
Any ideas would be a great help, thank you for your time and suggestions.
