    I don't think this is the problem but I only use OEM oil filters. I know some guys here use Wix. Has there ever been any metal in the oil or has the oil been more reflective then normal? If it is idling at the proper RPM it could be a bad oil pump or your crank bearings are worn out. Both of these would be rare at that milage. Because you can I would check and see if there is any codes.

    Yea They did away with the cage. I just wanted to show where the oil pressure switch was. Good luck and let us know if it works.
