Lost oil pressure
I lost oil pressure after a belts change. The car warmed up fine for several minutes and ran fine for a few blocks in my neighborhood until the oil light and a couple of other warning lights came on. I limped the three or four blocks home. The car didn't run funny before or after and displayed no other symptoms.
How could I have had oil pressure for 10 minutes and then lost it? Is there some other explanation for why the warning lights came on? Should I have seen any other symptoms if I didn't have oil pressure? Thanks.

Check the torque on your crank pulley- It should be 150 ft/lbs. If it comes loose I believe it can cause a loss of oil pressure.
