its happy it just had fun its happy it just had fun Low oil pressure, fast moving internal metal parts inadequately lubricated tend to rub, bang, knock against each other, not good. Causes? Oil volume low. Clogged oil filter. Oil pressure loss. Oil pump failing, needs replacement. Stock oil pump suction (or pick-up) screen, in oil pan, is easily clogged by debris, replacing this might solve low oil pressure (if clogged screen didn't already fry oil pump).
