Ques about oil pressure

FerociousP · 06-25-2010, 11:05 AM

at 3000rpm it should be about 60psi, unless you have an upgraded regulator or shims, etc. Make sure your gauge is accurate.

high oil pressure is better than low pressure, but I would think unchecked pressure could cause longevity issues with the oil system as a whole.

Yes, I am reading the stock gauge. It seems to move when I accelerate or deccelerate. I assume thats just the change of pressure in the engine.
