wierd problem
#1
at idle im getting about 70 psi and about 85 under load up to about 3500 or so when it starts droping off. it drops off more under load than it does at higher rpms when its not under load.
ive got good oil level, so i dont know what the deal could be other than my sensor flaking out on me or something. i really dont want to have to yank anything out for this. the oil smells very much like gasoline
oh, when i say pressure is dropping off its coming down to nearly zero. i think if this were actually the case something would have broken by now

Is it a S4 or S5? I believe on the S4 when the oil control o-ring on the front cover goes bad you will get a drop in pressure at higher rpms. Mazdatrix has a FAQ on their website somewhere. My guage still acts funny sometimes. About 90% of the time its fine but sometimes it will drop down to nothing then go back up.

its an s5, but seriously the oil pressure couldnt be as low as its sometimes reading or the whole thing would have locked up by now.
so i suppose its time to replace the sensor. good excuse to get a mechanical one anyway
