So a few days ago I noticed that my oil pressure was consistently between 5-7psi lower than it has always been(from cold start to at temperature). I know because I watch the pressure like a hawk. I first thought possible culprit was I had possibly clogged up the oil filter. Changed oil and filter no change. Next thought was possible oil sending unit screen was clogged. Was possibly because I had ran some redline sl-1 fuel cleaner in three tank fillups in a row. Had read that could possibly happen if done to aggressively and I would say 3 in a row is kind of aggressive lol.
Then today it all of a sudden jumped to 96psi and just stays there and of course CEL. At that point culprit is the oil pressure switch. Just so relieved I do not have to drop oil pan to do a cleaning lol.
With that what is your guys thought on the doorman sensor? I know doorman is good in some departments but not others so want your thoughts if this is a valid replacement or if I should no doubt go OEM. Any of you guys have issues with the aftermarket sensor and what is your recommended?
