OH CRAP!!!
it looks like my engine is toast!
oil filter housing had a lot of metal particles and the filter is full of green plastic bits..
on the way to the shop (6 miles away) i got a bit of vibration and the oil pressure light came on for a second.
fresh oil and a new filter and driving home the light came on for half a second.
engine doesnt clunk or anything but its probably eating itself up inside.
DAMN! should i still try and take it to get it checked or assume it's gone?
i am having a bad Sunday to say the least. if it is dead at least it went out like a sports car, pushing hard at 7200 RPM in a tunnel screaming like a murder victim. a worthy death. :ah:
