They are Mobil 1 filters.

But they have a nut on the bottom that makes it super easy to change!

I use a Purolator Pore One.

Advanced Auto is the only place I can find the K&N filters and they also carry the Mobil 1's as well (hrmmm...maybe I saw the K&N's at Pep Boys as well....)

^^^^This is the VERY BEST filter you can buy. 99.9% and no other filter matches that!! and its "Purolator PureONE".

I was thinking this. Also check your oil pan for dents if you haven't already. It doesn't take much of a dent at all to choke off the oil supply.

So, I got under the car just to check out the oil pan without jacking it up, and it seems to have one hell of a dent in it. I'm going to be doing some work on the clutch this weekend so I will drop the pan and hammer out the dent. Let's hope that's all it is.

At first I thought it was the rough idle that effected the low pressure, but the car only idles rough when there is low pressure. This is kinda one of those chicken or the egg dilemas.

Is there anything that I would need to drop the pan and put it back on besides the obvious things like oil, oil pan gasket, and rubber mallet to beat out the dent?

At 2k rpms where the oil pressure goes?

Add:
1-Why is running rough? you have to fix that.
2-What oil do you use.

It goes back to normal. I have the stock oil pressure gauge so the inaccurate reading is just a few lines below the bottom of the two larger lines.

1. Only happens when I don't have oil pressure, and has only happened a couple of times.
2. I don't recall what brand I put in it last time. It was my first time changing the oil since I just purchased the car a month ago. I know it was a synthetic, and it was 5W30.

The first thing I did was check my oil level, and it was fine; right at the top notch of the dipstick.

When I get to changing the oil I will take everyones advice and go with either a K&N or Purolator.

I would also make an investment in some Amsoil. I have found that it is the best stuff that STAYS clean in these TT motors.
