I have an 09 Ford Fusion with the 3.0L V6. Almost 180k miles. The oil pressure light turns on at low idle <700 RPM and warm engine ~30 minutes of driving. It will turn off if I give it just a little accelerator to get the RPMs up. What should be my next steps? Oil pressure switch is only $25 so easy change but is it worth messing with? Running 5W-20 synthetic blend. Should I use a heavier weight to prolong the inevitable or is it just time to send it down the road? I don't want to mess with an overhaul or changing the oil pump.
It is my parts and fluids getter for the tractor, so kind of related.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
