I change my oil every 3000 miles and my filter and I run full synthetic Castrol edge high mileage and I probably have done 10 to 12 oil changes this year which is kind of Overkill now my engine has been doing fine all year I have a 2005 Dodge ram 1500 4.7 l Magnum I was driving today and all the sudden on the interstate my oil pressure dropped completely to low all at once. I'm only two thousand miles into my oil change and I checked my oil level this morning cuz I check it once a week and my coolant level both were normal my oil pressure dropped completely too low at bottom of the gauge then the truck shut off and died so I pulled over there was no knocking no pinging no weird engine sounds and when I check the fluid level in the oil with the dipstick it was normal and within range same as it was this morning but upon trying to restart the truck it doesn't turn over and the oil pressure remains reading low and it has a check engine light but no codes also I noticed when I put it to axillary and listen for the hum of the fuel pump it isn't humming so I'm trying to figure out what that would be cuz I have oil in the engine and it ran fine this morning and I had no problems with it and I change my oil a lot any advice would be appreciated also I've noticed recently that in my oil fill cap on the bottom of the cap it looks like snot like I yellowy ***** mixture. I only have 142xxx on my truck and it runs strong everyday for 1.5 hrs of daily highway 55mph commute. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I also got under the vehicle with a flashlight and there is no noticeable external leaks on the engine no drips underneath the truck and like I said the oil level is within ok range on the dipstick. Did the computer ECM fail shut the truck off or does the sensor in the block tell the computer there's an issue when there isn't will shut the truck off or is the issue something internal. Any help is greatly appreciated.
