Hey guys I hope I have a simple questions for you . My car has sat up for the last 5 to 6 months it started right up as usual . With the aid of jumpers of course .lol . I drove the car and the oil alarm kept coming on so I stopped gas station checked oil level add a bottle and drove off . Again alarm came on so I said rather safe then sorry let's go to mechanic .
Mechanic says hey oil has thickened up so the engine needs a flush ???AAA okay u say so !! So mechanic calls and says cars ready ... hhhhmmmm anyways long story short $250 and alarm still comes on and myttapets sound to loud . Anybody got any ideas mechanic said oil pump might have failed but that don't sound right . When first got car from mechanic it sounded normal only after driving 3 miles did the alarm come on but once it did it want stop . Pls help don't wanna hurt my baby ....

Chances are.
If you drop the oil pan, you will see the pick up screen is clogged.

Hey thanks for responding when I took the car back for the same alarm. He said he blew out the oil line . But the noise is still there so I will suggest he checks filter on pump . Again thanks

Cars that sit a lot tend to have problems like this, which is why oil changes are recommended at a certain mileage or time, whichever comes first. In the future, I'd always use the manufacturer's recommended full synthetic oil and make sure you change it when recommended.

When he said he blew out the oil line did he drop the oil pan?
