low low oil pressure when really cold
Hey guys I'm new to the Ford scene. Just bought a 95 f150 4x4 5.0. Runs and drives nice. Has 168k miles on it.
Question. The oil pressure gauges reads really low when I first start it up on really cold days. Does eventually get to normal pressure once warmed up. Is this something I need to fix? If so how and what?

Sounds silly but check the stick, probably could need a top off. Or tap the gauge, I do that a lot. My engine burns oil, but nothing to worry about if yours does, sweetening up your oil is never a bad thing. What weight/brand oil are you using?
