First post to this forum. I'm out on the road, 300 miles from home, and the oil pressure light starts flickering. I immediately check the oil, add half a quart to bring it full, and the light still flickers. No performance problems, yet, but I think I've heard some knocking...

Do I risk driving home to my trusted mechanic?

How many miles on the car and what year? You might have a slug build up in the engine, try adding a engine flush solvent and change the oil. The reason I mention this, is because you said there is a knocking sound in the engine. Try this and let us know what happened. Also check the oil pressure as well

128,000 miles. Sludge might well be the problem. I'll try the oil change with an engine flush solvent. Thanks.
