I've had my conerns about low oil pressure with
my 2002 LS1 and chasing down possible problems.
I have at hot idle possibly 10psi and at higher
rpms......20-25psi. So these engines don't have alot of
pressure? Seems strange to be so low in my book?

My LQ4 idles @ mid-30's but then goes up around 50psi when I gas it, is this normal?
What oil pressures are you other conversion guys experiencing??
my ls1 pulls 60psi cold and around 40 hot. im using a melling heavy duity oil pump.
mine also jumps up to around 50-60 psi when driving it. my friends 00 ws6 oil gauge also moves with throttle response.

Trending Topics
For anyone with stock oil pumps (not aftermarket or ported)... what are your oil pressures?
I've searched and there are oodles of threads talking about oil pressure problems, but once the problems are fixed none those threads include the resulting oil pressures.
Maybe this thread can become a future reference for oil pressure variation for whoever might search it up...

My 2002 at 185 deg idles at about 35 psi, at 1900 rpm it's around 40, and under full throttle it's 58 or so . At least that is what the video showed on my first launch. I have a mechanical gauge and I run 5W30 mobile one. And to thank I was one of those guys that had zero pressure for the longest time after I got it running.
