Default oil problem fixed

well i had low oil pressure so i replaced the pump. after doing that i sstill had low oil pressure. turns out it was just the oil pressure switch. i almost kicked myself when i found that out. always check the switch first.

Nice! Can't forget to check the easy stuff first. But at least you have a new pump!
