Default need help, oiling issue!!
My car is running high oil pressure it is running at about 60 psi at idle, and around 70-75 psi while driving but also some times it will drop back to the normal running psi. The car also dosnt want to idle some times and stalls out. What could be the problem?

what kind and weight of oil are you running in it. Has it been real cold outside lately where you are?
