Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Ok so when driving the oil pressure is at 1
line above 60 and when I stop it drops
down to about 45 no noise or rattling but
after sitting for about a minute it drops to
40 then starts rattling and tapping  down
by the oil pan. I just changed the oil a day
ago and that's when it started

gm is nice because on most you can fill / prime the oil filter before installing it...i changed the oil on a 60s 289 ford years ago and before it primed / flowed it spun a rod bearing... anyway...go and get a bottle of lucas oil additive and add it to your oil...it cant hurt....ok !
