Already had my Dak into the dealer for it. According to the service manager,
he asked the mechanic to check it with a mechanical guage, but he didn't
know whether the mechanic actually did it when I stopped to pick it up. He
only said the mechanic couldn't find anything wrong with it.
In my case, the drop only happens after the truck is warm & at idle, so it
could be either the sensor or something that only can be seen when the oil
is thinned from heat. Either way, it's still doing it, so the dealer's gonna
get a call Monday.
Will keep everyone informed.
