Cool? It's at freezing temps here. This weather sucks at this time of year. 30's o/n while I'm ready to renovate the outside of a 2500sq.ft. home, yet can't use my products at these temps.
Weather forecast still shows a week+ to clear 50° o/n. No hurry, just wait it out.

here in Carolinas been in 70s more then hot enough run a oil pressure test, just me you sound almost like we have same issues my psi came back at 5-6. I’m bet yours will be low as well. imo motor is shot if so my stupid dealership is doing oil pick up tubs and oil pump, I’m not paying so is what it is. But from my experience and reading oil pumps don’t fix oil pressure when psi is that low means bearings are shot cause blow by pretty much just wore out motor. I hope it’s not the case but we having literally same issues

I’ll test mine this weekend , what’s the procedure ? You plug the gauge warm it up or warm it up then take off the sensor and plug the gauge ?
and what’s the numbers suppose to be under hot idle ?

but why would it not do it now it outside is like 70s but it was doing it when it was hotter outside . It shouldn’t matter if the pressure is low weather is good or hot outside right? It’s confusing lol

GM RECOMMENDS:> 10psi oil pressure per 1,000 rpms.!
