Default No Oil Pressure & Turbo Doesn't Mix
I thought I'd post this picture up as a reminder on what happens when people ignore their oil levels. I asked my customer if he saw the oil pressure light go on and he responded by saying, "yes, but I was only a mile away from my house." So guess who won, the #4 rod or the block??
