I seafoamed my engine numerous times. But my problem is not oil sludge in the engine. So now I am taking any suggestions I can get. There could be a clog somewhere in my vacuum lines or breather system that can be cleared out. It's a long shot but it is easy and cheap.

Replacing the oil cooler today. My haynes manual doesn't mention it at all. I found this DIY write up. Very good one.

Well, just replaced my oil cooler. The old one was pretty disgusting and deteriorating. And I had a leak because it was pretty loose. Surprised I never noticed that while changing my oil filter. Anyways, it didn't work. The oil pressure light came on anyways. I'm going to manually check it again just to be sure.
