It seems as if after several hours (2 or more) on the road at high speed / high Rpm (2700 or higher) that when I come to a stop the oil pressure gauge flickers. I have changed the syncro shaft previously. The oil has about 2000 miles on it (it has done it with less). If I shut down the engine most on the time it stops (or near quits). I do not notice any other issue. I consume no oil, have no water in the system, nothing. It is as if my oil thins and the pressure drops just enough to activate the sensor. The truck only has 97K, and I have been using motorcraft synthic blend 5-20 up until this summer when I moved. Now I go to jiffy lube (apartment life- ugh), however the first ocurrance was on motorcraft. The change was the truck was now being driven 130 mile round trip to work at 55 plus. But it only happens after 1:45 to 2 hours constant driving..........Thoughts anyone?
