Sounds like you have low oil pressure and/or low oil.  Engine rmps should
give more pressure, but something could be wrong.  It has been hot... Too
hot lately here in BC.   You may want to check again tomorrow when the temp
drops, or else Change the oil and filter.  You using Mann or malhe filters?
