  • low oil pressure (already searched)

    I already searched, and i found alot of useful info, but none as dramatic. when i first start the car, the oil is at 40 psi. (which feels low), but after about 3 min of driving, the oil pressure will redline. literally sit at the red. i cant stop driving the car. i thought it was the oilchange i do myself but then i took it to a mechanic and it still does it. im out of ideas. :mad: could ya help?
