My car has new issue; the oil pressure is dropping around 40-50 when hot instead of a steady 60 when cold. But it dropped down to 10-15psi when I did a burnout and let off the throttle but it was getting back to 40-50 when giving throttle...oil pump is gone or what??

And I did a recent oil change(TTP did it with royal purple), I was running mobil one before. The problem got worst after a 550miles run..Good part of the run was done at very high speed and RPM!!

What oil pump are you running? 40-50 is normal when hot.

Not sure, never had a look at it but I guess its a ported one...

I'll try to change the filter in case the oring was damaged and maybe the filter is a crappy one.

What bothers me is I got a big drop to 10-20 after a burnout and I was scared to damage something!!
