Default Oil pressure question?
A buddy of mine just bought a 95 lt1 TA and psi is at about 15 at idle, i remember that another friends formula was about as low as that, is this a problem with lt1's

No. I assume it goes up while the engine rpm's pick up. That is just a chevrolet...

rule of thumb is 1 psi for ever 100 rpm

engine at operating temp .... 15 psi at idling is correct . if gets to around 30-35 when cruising ...well within specs .
