jim21070 2 Posted October 3, 2006 Hi Chris and welcome to the forum.. You have really cooked your oil. I'd change it as soon as you can. It will have suffered badly and broken down. Some poor quality oil filters have either no or a poor drain-back valve in them that can allow all the oil to run out of the filter back into the sump overnight. Thus on a cold start the pump has firstly to fill the filter before it can get pressure up. Change the filter. Try to get a Purflux filter as these are Pug OE spec and well recommended. Finally, don't take too much notice of the pressure gauge. It is notoriously unreliable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
