PMD Power

this is the lowest it has ever been in the car.. normally is it right at 40 or just a teeny bit under it... is this a bad sign that the oil pump it about to die? I am within 400 miles or so of the next oil change ( every 3k) would it just be worn out oil?

The car has about 84k on it

Thanks!

doesnt look serious to me as long as its not down to 10 lbs you should be fine.
does it go up with rpm?

PMD Power

yes.. it moves around like it should while driving, etc.. I just never noticed it this low before.. if it starts to worsten what should I be looknig for to fix it? oil pump?

could be anything from pump to bad bearings

hmm.. so bottom end really or the pump... it is does get worse I'll see what I can do.. I would guess a 6.0 block would be not a bad upgrade with a decent cam if I had to replace it

Its fine.. As long as it is at least 20psi at idel. And it goes up when you rev it.

You could also check your oil level.

Looks normal to me too.

That's about what mine sits at when fully warmed up at idle. I have the tsp ls6 pump.

Stock guage is not accurate.(only on 98s) For a true reading you need to get a scanner such as hp tuners.

For 84k miles, thats not bad at all. Its just bearings wearing. At this rate you're good for another 100k miles!
