Default Oil Pressure again
I was just driving home from school and my check gage came on. Now my oil pressure stays at 0. Ive checked my oil and its fine. Any ideas? Changed my oil maybe 4000 ago. Using Mobil 1.

How many miles on the engine?

And is this the first time you've run a synthetic oil? I'm thinking maybe sludge on the pickup screen

Maybe run a motor flush, and do a oil change.

Drop the pan and see what it looks like.

EDIT: Did you ever figure out what HPMs mean?
