I have a 1996 Ford Ranger with the 2.3L 4-cylinder and it is reading now reading low oil pressure until it warms up for like 5-10 minutes. I looked around and could not find anything with a real solution. I did change my oil recently and used the correct oil(5w30). Is there a valve that opens when it is cold out to get oil flowing that could be sticking? It is in the 30's (Fahrenheit), but it has not happened all winter(even when it was between 5-15F) until now so i am not sure if i have a real problem. I do not think it is the oil pump going bad because it would not go from low to correct pressure.
