Asked by Noel2134 Feb 24, 2018 at 04:13 PM about the 2006 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I’m having an oil pressure problem. I’ve changed op
switch put manual gage in. I’ve done 2 oil changes with
5w-20 like recommended, I just did an oil pump this
morning. Once truck warms up oil presure drops to 0 and
light comes on. Has 181,000 motor makes no noises runs
fine drives fine. If I rev it up in park oil pressure comes
back up. Went and drove it not even a mile and oil
pressure stayed down? What is next to do?

Ok would there be another oil I could use that’s thicker than the 5w-20 that’s recommended and would it do worse damage to it? I’m thinking about driving it until it does blow up if I’m looking at another motor anyways.
