New Car, Low Oil Pressure, Advice Please

You are right it is...didn't get much sleep last night and I started to ramble... Ok I will check with a new oil gauge before I get too worried.

The oil leak was just a side comments as it related to maybe needing to change the oil pump if pressure is actually low.

Thanks for the advice, I will at least hook it up locally to double check and then run and mount permanently later.

Any recommendations as to the best oil to use, if I am not aware of previous oil that has been used. Another thread suggested staying away from mobile1 if it had not been used before, not sure of all the issues. I figured I would be safe with a semi-synthetic.

Thanks
