Oil Pressure

[Docta]

What kinda pressure do you guys get? Not sure if you followed my old oil issues, but now I'm consistently at 85-90lbs. From MAYBE 20, to 90 with one oil change.

Did you put a really heavy weight oil in? Like 20-50, or straight 40?
That still shouldn't bump it up that much, though. I've noticed that my
pressure will run a little high, around 50-60 @ idle for the first couple hundred
miles after an oil change. How long since your oil change?

What kind of pressure problems were you having before?

No, its 10-30. Its been 1100 miles, and it's not idle. It's always. And before it was dropping to 0. Never got higher than about 25. All I did differently was put in an additive?

Re: Oil Pressure

I'm usually just over 60 and as the car warms up it will go slightly under it.

No idea what it should be, mine has always been about there?

I use Mobil 1 and a Fram filter.

Re: Oil Pressure

My gauge stays slightly above 1/2 after its warm.

I use synthetic only and a long Wix Oil Filter.

Re: Oil Pressure

Mine stays around 90 psi then after warmed up 60 psi , this is with RP 20/50.

Re: Oil Pressure

Oh yeah, it was just some Pennzoil 5/10-30 with a Polydyn TX7 additive... and its weird cuz my oil pan leaks too.

mine does the same exact thing
.

i run 10w30 in the winter and sometimes 10w40 in the summer.

if i uses a lighter weight i would burn so much oil
