Yesterday I dropped the sump off of the engine and the transmission. Pretty crazy how many pieces you need to take off for an ATF change. I couldn`t find any debris in it but the ATF was black. Perhaps never changed out... (at 127k now)
I dropped the sump also because the oil pressure warning light lit up a couple times lately at heavy braking. The oil was overfilled, it`s a bit over maximum, so I don`t think it`s that the oil mass sloshes away from the pick up screen. It`s maybe a wring issue, or perhaps those brown plastic particles clogged the screen sometimes, I don`t know at this point. Cleaning them out won`t hurt for sure.
Not to mention the sludge..
