Just the fact that you took it to them for a oil light and they came back at you with intake gaskets is enough to say you're wasting your time with them. I have a feeling it'll be in your best interest to pay the "diagnoses" bill and find another shop. We'll wait and see tho... If nothing else tell them thanks for the "heads up" and to install a new oil pressure sensor and check the wiring to it. Just my 2c....

 

$85 for a oil change? Are they swimming to the UK to get a oil filter for it?

 

@ Spike - Maybe the Queen is doing the oil change herself?

 

Haha, maybe.

 

Okay... Spoke to the mechanic. My oil was low (3/4 bottle to fill) , my boyfriend did not read the oil level correctly and it was not full like he told me it was, hence the oil pressure light coming on (note to self, I will check the oil from now on) He said the oil pump was fine.
I'm going to admit that I'm really bad at checking the oil (I know, I know) but I feel if the intake gasket was bad and it was leaking enough oil to be a real problem it would not have gone as long as it did before the light came on.

Thoughts?

 

See my reply in your other thread.

 

I am a dealer tech and I have no idea what a intake gasket has to do with your oil light. Even if the valley pan gasket was leaking I doubt it'd leak THAT much. But whatever..as long as it fixed it. Check your oil woman.

 

Don't worry about why the shop wants to replace any gasket until you have the pressure readings. In other words, why would you replace gaskets on an engine that's a time-bomb?
