You are driving down the highway, scan your gauges, and notice your oil pressure is at zero.
You have a moment of absolute terror that the engine on the truck which provides about 70% of your income may freeze up any second.
You try to remember when the last time you checked the oil level was, what part would be most likely to fail that could drain all the oil at once.

And then a wave of relief passes over you as realize you have been EOC, and watch the needle climb again after you re-engage the clutch.

You feel pretty dumb, but also YKYAEM
