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..



At the risk of starting an oil discussion - what type of oil is in there and and when was it last changed? That looks.... Um... Nasty
