Re: oil problem
I had the same problem need to drop oil pan, clean oil pan because you will have oil build up. No need to change oil pump just clean .Camaro V6 1999- K&N Intake System

Re: oil problem
there are solvent solutions. some people don't like them, some people praise them... i would give one a try, you can use seafoam, rosloan? marvel mystery oil etc. but pulling valvecover and oil pan are the best way.Comment

Re: oil problem
Mmmm oil sludge!
Time to pull the covers and clean her out! Probably have it built up on the oil pickup tube screen too.Comment

Try Rislone...I did on my 3.8 and oil pressure is higher longer and little
fluxuation as before.Comment
