Re: oil pressure dropping as i continue driving
its fine to have ur oil pressure up near 80 when the car is cold, normal.
After your oil is fully heated up it should be at atleast 20 psi or higher at idle. If it is not, you probable have one of the following.
1.Worn engine
2. weak/bad oil pump
3. wrong viscosity oil, i run 10w40 now, helps alittle with low oil pressure
noah
