[QUOTE="The geezer, post: 351899, member: 5118"] The oil light will stay on which means Low oil pressure and it will damage your crankshaft bearings ,because of low oil pressure. I have my staff drain the oil for a maximum of 5 minutes. I have never had to carry out this repair because we are very careful and would not like to have to stand at the counter for several hours trying to explain why a Mazda/ford design fault is now the customers fault. This is only on the 3.2 engine. I would say to fix this you would have to pump prime the oil pump though the oil pressure switch and do a few Hail Marys! Otherwise you will be probably be replacing the oil pump. [/QUOTE]
