Bulk vs. Bottled oil at places like Jiffy Lube

What? You mean you don't believe his oil pressure gauge survived? HAHAHA

No oil pressure on startup for excessive amounts of time. I changed the oil and a fram filter one day. On the first start after the change, I thought it was ok.. But, the next day I started it and had no oil pressure. And.. It wouldn't build up either.. I thought my oil pump was out. I shut it off, and restarted, and it finally came up to pressure after a few more seconds. Yanked the filter, and replaced with a FL1A and never had the problem again. Orange fram filters and many six bangers don't play well together. :( MK

I buy my oil filters at NAPA.When I start up the engine in my old 1978 Dodge van, of course the oil gage is reading low.I sit there for about less than half a minute and let the engine (318 cubic inch engine) oil pressure build up to normal. cuhulin

When I start my 86 Jeep with it's 1978, 258 straight six engine I have instant high oil pressure with a Canadian Tire brand filter.

With one of those orange Fram filters, I have no pressure for a while and really bad noises.
