If oil pump is faulty and dipstick shows oil can the car seize?
Yes. Car engined rely on pressure lubrication, and with a busted pump there won't be enough pressure.
What is the Oil pump pressure?
the pressure of oil that the oil pump is pulling?
Why does the oil light stay on when your car has enough oil?
Defective oil pressure sending unit or the oil pump is defective.
Does a shovelhead oil pump have enough pressure for a filter and a cooler?
It better have. Otherwise you need a new pump. And that is possible!
What happens if you put sugar in engine oil?
It does not dissolve in the oil. If the pump happens to pick up the sugar, the filter will stop it. If there is enough sugar, the filter could become restricted and oil glow will suffer.It does not dissolve in the oil. If the pump happens to pick up the sugar, the filter will stop it.

Why does the oil light come on even if the oil is at the proper level for a 1999 Cavalier?
The oil sending unit is bad or the oil pump is not pushing enough pressure.
Why does the Oil pressure in your 1995 camaro drop when you come to a stop?
If the oil level is too low this can happen. However, the oil pump, in the oil pan, could be going bad. At higher RPM the pump creats enough force, but at idle is doesn't. Check you oil level first, then look into the pump. Before going to far have a shop install an external oil pressure gauge and check the pressure. It may only be an oil pressure switch that is bad.
What can you do for a 89 4cyl that cant seem to get enough oil pressure to the fuel pump u can hear it tapping the cam in the low rpm's?

What happens when oil is mixed with oxygen under pressure?
If the compression is high enough you get a diesel engine.
Oil Pressure gauge?
It displays the pressure that the oil pump is creating. Generally low oil pressure indicates that the main and/or rod bearings are worn. Many people misunderstand and think that the gauge is an indication of the conditon of the oil pump, but the simple reality is, oil pumps seldom fail and seldom wear enough to significantly lower the oil pressure. The oil pressure gauge is NOT a way to determine when you're low on oil. If that's your method, you're destroying the engine.
