Wild, I did think there could have been a chance for something getting clogged. I sure didn't think that the pump screen would be one of those things. I never had a problem, but I'll keep that in mind. I not big on Lucas oil because the demo that they had at the parts store made me think that the oil would stick to the crank more. What engine did you have in the S10?

4.3L V6. Dont ask me why, but I put restore in it and it dropped my oil pressure to 20. As soon as I drained that crap out of the crankcase, it popped back up to 60. Engine restore has fine shreds of a copper alloy in it, which are intended to melt and seal cylinder walls. Depending on how fine the screen on your oil pump is, Engine Restore can also do a fine job of clogging things up.

Actually, no. I have been so busy with my classes this week, that I haven't had a chance to pick up the car yet. I'm probably go pick it up tomorrow if I have the time.
