This may be a silly question.... this past weekend i made about a 2000 mile
trip (Salt Lake , SF, SLO, LA, back to Salt Lake) and about halfway through
(around Monterey, CA) i noticed the oil pressure changing quite a bit while
i was driving. when stopped it would drop down to a little less than the
middle of that "safe" range and while driving along the highway it would peg
near top of the range. is this normal and something that i just havent
noticed before in the other 45,000 miles of driving this truck? the truck
had a full oil change before i left and the level was never low throughout
all the stops at gas stations along the way. also the check engine light
came on one night before we stopped for the evening, but it was off when we
started the next morning.... any idea what would cause that.
