Dear all
My w124, since the arrival of the inlaws is working harder than usual. Mostly of the time it's just just for weekend trips, two adults and a baby. Now we are driving a lot more fully loaded, four adults, baby and associated kit etc etc.
Last night in London rush hour traffic, the temp gauge increased to about 90-95. And the oil pressure dropped to 2.5, but would return to 3 with a slight tap on the accelerator.
My question is whether this drop in oil pressure is connected to the car running at higher than normal temp. I know the car is due for a service in April 2013 and the current oil filter is not an original one.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Merry Christmas to all,
