Re: 2001 S80 Intermittent oil light at speed

Thanks Ben, Pan's been off and cleaned. Of course the dealer didn't clean the PCV when they had the pan off which my regular mechanic tells me is part of the standard procedure he's found in the manual. My regular guy is going to pull the pan and check it again as the pick up tube was not replaced e...

Cleaned the PVC box and no help. Could it be the cam adjuster?
