D'oh! That's it---my mistake 8^O

Yes, that's exactly what Lloyd said.
>Is your oil pressure light on at low
>speeds?
Funny thing, it came on for the first time ever a few weeks ago. I
immediately pulled over and checked the oil, and it was really low.
That's _weird_, because I check my oil every time I put gas in, and I'm
good about keeping the level right. I poured in 2 quarts, and it was OK
after that. Just did an oil change ths weekend.
>Does it work?
Yes. Everything works except the windshield squirter.
Lloyd said I could put something in the oil called "Engine Restore" that
would help for a little while, until I can afford to rebuild the engine.
So you guys think it needs to be rebuilt?
