how often do you change the engine oil?

I read somewhere that if the oil pressure dropping, that means you have to change the oil....

take it to the dealer. They will have to run a bunch of tests with special tools that you probably don't have to figure it out. The vtec code may be because of the low oil pressure, or it or a component of it may be the cause of it.

before you take it in change the oil and filter to the proper wieght 5w-20 so they don't blame you.

i'm guessing you're getting these readings from an oil pressure gauge you mounted in your car...

if so, what brand is your gauge? it might not be accurate at all.
