so how do I check the pressure.. should I just go ahead and replace the sender or ?

Hi Matt One thing not mentioned is to torque the crank bolt if this bolt is not tight enough then the oil pump gear will not turn as fast as the crank and this also can cause low or no oil pressure ..dont drive the car until you find the problem ...and change the oil and filter........Stan
