The obivious answer is the oil pump puked. But i am curious what you find out. Could be clogged screen or plugged passage way etc. Good luck with it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Gee, I just don't see clogging as the cause. It only has 16,000 miles & the oil (Mobil 1 syn) has been changed 3 times and it's clean as a whistle. Clogging generally comes on slow with gradual reduction in psi, not sudden drop to -0-. That's why I thought the pressure regulator. It could have been "hanging" and finally either stuck wide open or the spring failed. Thanks for the input.
