Just drove home a 1989 Roadtrek Class B motorhome built on a Dodge B250 body and engine. I haven't bought any repair manuals yet but I think it's a 318 engine with 119,000 km on it. The transmission has been rebuilt and the previous owner has repair records since 2003. No major engine repairs are listed.
Driving it home today for the first time I noticed that the oil gauge was reading only one bar above the bottom line. Thinking it was low on oil I checked the oil dipstick when I got home and it looked to be slightly over full.
Now I'm wondering what to check next.
I've never had a vehicle with a gauge but I assume it should be reading somewhere in the middle of the gauge like the temperature gauge does.
Before I try a new oil pump are there other things I can look at to see whether I'm getting a faulty reading?
thanks
