Hello Folks,
My 83 240 automatic had been parked for a few weeks.
When I went for a drive a couple of days ago I noticed
that the oil pressure gauge was reading between 0 and 1
and that the oil temperature gauge was at 210/220.
Again today when I went for a drive in her the same is
happening. Very low pressure on oil gauge and oil
temperature reading higher than usual.

I checked the oil and she is within the level.

She has always ran a bit week but she is driving as good
as usual and I can't conclude what the problem might be.

On a side note the battery power level seems to be a bit low too.

All advice is appreciated,
Joseph in New Mexico
