My car is breaking down. Loss of oil pressure.

I'm sure there's no fixing it. At least not for a lot more than a twenty year old car is worth.

One of my cars has a flat tire, and I went to put the spare on, only to find out that it was blown out. It's the temporary spare which was only on the ground once. None of us recall it being bad, so I suspect that it got swapped out sometime when the car was out of our hands.  >:(

sudden onset or gradual decline?

firzt might be something easy, like a prezsure relief valve.

how do you know the prezsure is low?


set the function, not the mechanism.

Seems to be sudden. I can hear it and the damn light stays on.

I didn't have time to check the oil level. It was a rush to find a way to work. The sound wasn't a bearing clack, yet, but something is definitely wrong. No lifters on the Honda OHV engines, but it could be valve noise from oil starvation and the cams rattling about in the top end.
