Hey guys, hopefully you can help me out. I have a 92 sel 600. I just noticed a little while ago that my oil gauge isnt moving. I was driving and it would stay on 0 so I pulled over and reved the car up and when i brought it up to high rpm's the gauge went up. So I took it on a longer street and got on it and when i got on it when the rpm's high the gauge went up, but as soon as it shifted gears t he oil pressure droped back down to 0.

So basically my car isnt getting any oil pressure besides going high on the rpm's. Also I just noticed I'm about 800 or so miles over my due oil change, I have no idea how I missed that.

But I'm wondering do you think the oil filter might be cloged and that's whats causing no pressure at low rpms?

So I have a few things I'm thinking it can be.

1) oil filter cloged.
2) oil sending unit not working?
3) or something very bad?


Any suggestions or any idea what it sounds like? Should I change the filter and just see what that does? Should I risk driving it on the freeway to the shop I take my car to?(about 60 miles away) or what should I do??


Thanks in advance.
