heres an idea, change the oil again and add engine flush. then gun the crap out of the motor and drive it for fifteen minutes really hard. then dump the oil and oil pan and take out the pickup and clean it up really good.
pick out any individual pieces and if it that doesnt help you got an oil pump problem.

Ok, so today i dumped out some oil and put in 2 qts of ATF and gunned the hell out of the engine (waking up the neighborhood since it was 10:00am on a sunday). I then dumped the oil, removed the oil pan and cleaned it thoroughly (also checking the pick up), there was a thin layer of a semi solid black substance that I'm guessing was sludge. I put it all back together and replaced the oil. The oil light isn't flashing now, but it's kinda early to tell.
However when I had the pan off, I noticed tiny drops of coolant here and there. It was barely noticeable and I almost missed it. Does this mean my head gaskets are done???
Also, The dealer told me my check engine light was related to the o2 sensors on bank b (right side) is this a clue that the head gasket is in fact bad??
Has anyone experienced this? And how f*cked am I???
