Supreme Cutlass Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Is that a bit high, and how high is too high? that's at freeway speeds, it falls down to about half at idle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian P Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 engine's still under operating temp. For that gauge that is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 engine's still under operating temp. exactly. colder oil = thicker oil = higher oil pressure. besides, we all know how accurate our gauges are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Moff Joseph Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 When cold, my 3.1 has the oil pressure pegged, cold weather or not. Once it heats up, the pressure drops to between zero and the first hash mark on idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
