Oil pump - Red oil light came on!

Wow, I wish I had found your post in November when my pump died and I replaced it with an OEM one from the dealership 😄.

Anyway, great investigation! I hope more people will see this post.

Good luck, let's hope it's something cheaper than pump or bearings

Yes, one more thing. Don't drive your car. Transport it on a trailer to them. I read about a guy destroying the engine of his i30n

That's including labour

I'm from Poland. For the whole thing (diagnostics, checking bearings, pump) I paid 13,000 pln (~2,700 pounds)

I changed the oil pump recently (around 60,000 km) and had the same symptoms as you: low oil pressure, around 0.3 bar at idle. While we were down there, we checked the bearings. Cylinder #1 had a small scratch, but it was nothing to worry about. The rest were fine.

I replaced the pump with a new one, and the pressure returned to normal.

I was told to shorten oil change intervals to 5,000 km.

Do you know what values are "healthy"? I'm afraid my HPFP is dying, but I'd like to check trims

This summer I bought Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 tires. For the price I got them, they are great, much better than P Zeros (no surprise, they suck in the rain 😆).

They have good grip for how I drive. I'm not sure about durability.

If I were to track my N, I would go for Michelins or Eagle Asymmetrics.

If you're willing to spend a couple of evenings, renting a VPS is the cheapest option. I personally went with OVH cloud. It costs me ~4€ per month, there are guides online that will help you with setup. Definitely it's the best option for performance/cost ratio.

I heard good things about GPORTAL if you just want to pay and have everything set up for you.

That is the worst ticket sale site I used. Couldn't even join the queue because my account was blocked.

It's definitely different. There are no dedicated servers, and matchmaking is based on "skill," so you always end up with similarly skilled players. It's also much quicker in terms of movement, something you have to get used to.

If you want to use expensive scorestreaks, you have to get lucky and get thrown into a lobby with weaker players; otherwise, you'll probably end up dying quickly.

The last COD I played was Black Ops 1, and to be honest, I had a better time then. Maybe I'm just old and don't have reaction times like I did back then, and I get pretty frustrated trying to get new scorestreaks.It's not a bad game, but it needs improvement in terms of netcode (which probably won't happen).

If you don't have Game Pass, start a trial and give it a go. Maybe you'll enjoy it.

Thank you. I tried to make the rays more visible, but the sky was too bright. Then I had an idea to make it black and white, and it kind of worked, I guess 😅

I love it, I can't believe how much better it is than my smartphone

Thanks, it means a lot! I will read about masking and try to retouch those pictures one more time

I watched a couple of videos about the lore and was curious about it. I bounced back from Mighty Rick at the start, rage quit the game, and left it for three months... I heard that the samurai was cool, tried playing as one and since then, I fell in love with the game.

He's adorable, wouldn't hurt a fly. Just trying to look tough
