[Builder]

08 gmc Sierra reading 130kpa while driving 100km need help it dropped to 0 and told me to shut engine down then I fired it back up and it would let me drive 15 min before it repeated

Oil level? If good might be something getting caught in the pickup, or the screen under the oil pressure sensor. When it dropped to 0 did the lifters start to make noise? This would be an indication that the pressure is actually low and not just a sensor issue.

Thanks for the fast reply !!Caught in pickup? No noise that I could hear ,I'm going to change the oil tomorow and filter ,it has a fram filter on it and I've read some bad reviews on it clogging ,any insight to that ? Also what's your thoughts on running a quart of  automatic transmission fluid for 15 min befor draining to clean gunk out ?

The pressure sensors are a known issue as well. They fail often. Always replace the filter screen along with the sensor as you are already there.

Hope you replaced it with a clean fram...jk I used to think all oil filters were fine, until I blew up a buddies 6.0 Ford with a fram. I stick with oem filters now.
