Oil pump problem?

[patrick.bureau at gmail.com (Patrick Bureau)]

Also if you have 10w30 and put in 20w50 and you are getting this, it
mean your pump need changing
If you are going from 20w50 to 10w30 then soemthing else is the issue.

Before you go diving into sensors and the OP warning system, let's
cover first things first: what oil are you using?  Your symptoms are
common, at least on early-ish hydro head 8Vs.  My Cabby did it before
I moved to a slightly heavier oil.  If you are using 5W-xx, move up to
10W-30 or so. 
Worth a look at and a lot easier than dragging out the schematics and
meter.
