0 oil pressure - Is this even POSSIBLE?

[DaPurpleRT]

Just a quick question. My bro had my car yesterday, and the oil peressure went to 0psi and stayed there, he drove it a total of around 30 miles and probably 45 minutes total. The car acted totally normal as did the turbo.

I think it's the gauge but am going to have to buy a tester to make sure. I am just curious, would it even be possible for the turbo, let alone the motor, to survive that long with ZERO oil pressure?

Thanks in advance fellas!

Check the wire that connects to your oil pressure sending unit. It probably fell off. Mine used to do it all the time until I crimped it on there real good.

And the sending unit is somewhere under the car, right? Where exactly?

Thanks man.

Bell shaped pod on the front cover under the crank pulley. Mine used to fall off also.

If you had zero oil pressure, that turbo would have probably already grenaded or seized.
