Re: Oil pressure question...
Mine does the same thing. I think the only thing to be worried about is if it just starts jumping around erratically like mine did before my oil pressure sender failed and started spewing Mobil 1 all over the front of my engine last year. (I still smell a light scent of burnt oil from my exhaust manifold when I park the car after a bit of hard running.)Originally posted by AlmondRocca
If you're really concerned that you'r getting bad readings, you can find a new sender (aka sensor) at a local auto parts store for not very much money. Be careful. I fouhnd 2 ddifferent models in my search. One was pretty cheap (~$10 - $15), the other was somethng like $50. I can't re4member the brands though, sou you'll have to do a bit of calling around or googling just to be sure.1997 Camaro, Y87 Perf.

Re: Oil pressure question...
yes, it is normal.. higher rpm=higher pressure, its simple.
your oil pressure should be at 60 at 2k RPMComment

the more the engine is turning then the more pressure the oil is experiencing... if the pressure is low at higher rpms or below 20 at idle then you will have a problem... but your fine.Welcome future UK stars... Darius Miller, Deandre Liggins, Kevin Galloway, Josh Harrellson
