Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* to Just Answer! I will be assisting you with your questions today. Give me one moment while I review this.

I’m very sorry that you’re having this issue and together, we will get this figured out. I will need your help too because I can’t see, touch, hear or smell anything that’s going on with your vehicle. We may also require some specialized testing tools in order to assist us in diagnosing the problems due to the complexity of today’s vehicles. JA will offer a phone call to you at an additional fee, it’s your choice. Please be patient with my replies, I reply back in question order received. If I send you an attachment, I will tell you, BUT, you will NOT get it on a phone; you must be on a tablet or PC. Please let me know when you are satisfied with my answers too so we can close out your question. You need to have the oil pressure checked with a gauge. Also make sure you don't have sludge in the motor. If you do, it needs to be flushed. Thanks again and all the best:) Ron

ok

Please SCROLL UP and read my initial reply to you. Thanks again and be well:) Ron

To get it flushed means i hqve to drive it to a mechanic?

You can buy Rosline from a parts store and do it yourself but you may need to do about 3 oil changes one right after the other to get ALL the sludge out. Thanks, Ron

if that doesn't work should i then take it to a mechanic or rather at what point do i take it to a mechanic

Yes, the pressure needs to be tested FIRST though. Most parts stores will loan/rent you the tester. Ron

thank you

You're welcome, thank you too and best of luck. Ron
