Hey everyone,

 

Tried searching the forums and most topics with these keywords related to transmissions. So maybe a month or 2 ago I changed my oil myself for the first time on this truck (I’ve changed oil myself my whole life, just not for the two free changes I got with the purchase), and since then I am noticing a really rough idle when I am at a stop light. The oil pressure gauge drops significantly, like to 1/4 of the dial at times, and then returns to normal once I depress the accelerator again. This only happens once the truck is at operating temperature - if it is not warm yet, idle stays at a regular oil pressure. I put in the required oil amount and have checked the dipstick (but am willing to do so again). I will look to post a video of the gauge later since I apparently do not have one. 
 

Any thoughts from you all as to what I should look at/try next? I’m not leaking oil - there are zero spots on my garage floor.

Could do a few simple things. Clean the throttle body and MAF sensor. Dump a whole can of seafoam in the fuel tank and even run a can of GDI cleaner through the engine to see if that help at all.

 

Could even pull the spark plugs to check condition of them. A really nice scan tool could help tell you things if you knew what to look for.

Thanks. I’ll work on starting on that list to see if anything helps this weekend.
