Stupid question of the Day

First WOW!! I want my 82 tunned like yours I need that fuel economy
  Secont you have the dreaded Oil Buzzer Blues. Clean all connecting points to the oil sender. See if that helps. If that doesn do it get a couple of new oil sensors. Sometimes even a new one is bad. If that does not do it then the oil buzzer thing inside the cluster is bad and will continue driving you crazy until it is replaced.
   
  I remember this pain!!! I have heard the oil weight fix before, but that did not work for me. So do the above. In that order...I am sure more will chime in. Oh and the oill pressure guage is still not a bad idea.

    Here's the strange one.  Oil level is fine, it happens in the morning on the way to work.  The it is the light/buzzer goes off only above 2k.  When I'm below 2k no warning and on the way home no problem!!!  However, now I thing I hear some engine noise (i would guess from the backside of the engine, sitting in the drivers seat).
   
  I change the only every 3k miles and run 20w50 during the Summer.  Should I be using this or stick with 10w30.
   
  My '82 can't dye................I average 36-38 mpg on my 86 mile daily round trip!!!

  Dan mention the oil light blinking when the engine is hot, but I heard somewhere that by that point it really is to late. Someone correct me, but it had to do with the pressure drop that triggers that light.
   
  Honestly, because my car is old and so is yours. And because I worry to much sometimes I added a oil pressure guage that reads in BAR mated with the proper sender. Really not difficult and nice to know I get a check on that pressure all the time.

  How would I know if my oil pump was failing? What are the signs and symptoms?
