Can oil pressure decrease through the dipstick tube?..sorry if the question is cheezy but I am starting to believe my code 22 may be engaged for that reason because the dipstick seems very loose with possible open gaps until its heated up and expands to seal off any open gaps on the dipstick tube itself? Just need to verify.
Thanks,

Nick

 

there is no pressure there.
Code 22 will be caused by either bad vtm(vtec oil pressure switch) signal
or lack of oil pressure caused by either low oil level, bad oil pump or
a major leak.
