Hey y'all. I'm driving a 2000 1.8T, and over the course of the last four days, while driving, have had the oil pressure light come on red with the buzzer. It lasts about 5 - 10 seconds and then goes away.
This happened to me once last year, also while driving, and then went away and never happened again, so I considered it a fluke. Now that it's happened twice in a short span, I'm obviously more worried.
I've been putting dino 5W30 in it. It's been, at most, 3000 miles since the last oil change.
At this point, I'm not really sure where to go. I know if I take it into a mechanic, I'm gonna get hosed, so I'd rather try and deal with it myself, but it's delicate given that my engine could be grenading without me knowing.
Any help is appreciated.
