Default Oil Pressure

Was having eratic oil pressure, sometimes great someetimes none figured guage till I had to acellerate hard and it went away when I was out of the throttle. Experience said CLOGG Remembering two guys in the past that had 318 oil problems and cheap filters, looked under the hood and had a whachamacallit filter. Changed filter and oil. Drove it 40 miles tonight all conditions not a problem any more. Used good filter and not the one in the orange box, poof problem solved.

Thanks, my primary reason was to adress oil problems from cheap filters, and the symptoms. If this post saves one person from spendin excess $ at a shop it was worth the time. Four problems I know of from oil filter failure, how many are their really? Now Im gonna put one of the polimer thinggies in it, aint tech, great.
