When I make deep turns at over 20mph the oil pressure guage drops and glows red. When I come to a hard stop the pressure drops and when I accerlate or straighten out the pressure returns to normal.

Does any one know why this is happening and if so, how can I fix it.

I'm driving across the country now and am getting worried.

thanks for any help!!!!!

no offense, but lets make sure we have all the facts before we get started here

when was the last time you had a complete oil change (oil / and filter) ?

what weight oil are you using ?

how many miles on the engine ?

Ever used engine flush ??

have you checked your oil? it's most likely low.

Yea if your driving across country and have not had your oil changed for a while that may be the solution to your problems! If you have not had an oil change for a while you should prob go get one to prevent doing further damage to the engine as maintaining your oil is one of the most important maintenance things to do to your car.

oil was just changed and I added Marvel Mystery to the oil. to much marvel mystery.

I was able to change oil and everything is strong.
