I was caught in a slowly moving traffic jam, when I looked a the gauges to check engine temp. and found oil pressure a 0 when inching forward, and 0 at idle. pressure would rise to 3 when accelerating, then promptly drop to 0 until the next move. I checked the oil, (1 quart low) added oil.....no change. At start up pressure is 2 when idling, after driving for 10 miles pressure drops to 0 at every stop light I do not ever recall seeing my oil pressure at 0 in the
10 years I have I have owned this 1992 190E 2.6 with 138,000 miles (that does need head gasket repair) 1 quart in 500 miles leak when last checked (no oil in coolant) Thank you for any advice........Rick- posted
