My oil pressure seems to be really low. I have really been careful driving it but any suggestions on what to cheeck first?

 

you should check your oil level first

 

yea, my oil pressure guage gets down to zero sometimes, whats up with that??

 

The oil pressure senders are notoriously flaky. 9 times out of 10, the problem is the sender has gone south, not the oil pressure.

You can test with a manual oil pressure gauge to double-check, or just bite the bullet and buy a new oil pressure sender from Mazda.

Thanks for the input I will cheeck with a manual oil pressure guage.

 

A new sender unit is about $100. One of the cheapest things I've ever purchased for the FD.

 

$78 from malloy if i remember correctly. i've had to buy 2 in the 2 years i've owned my FD. dunno why they malfunction so easily, but it's an important thing to have

 

give you confidence to drive with the real oil pressure showing.
I watched the mechanic replace my sender. Looks like would be easy to do ones self.
Now have good oil pressure showing.
