oil pressure observation. during the winter here (40's & 50's) my oil pressure was alwasys the same:
40psi hot idle
60psi hot acceleration
been this way since day one (note that i bought this car in Febuary 05.)
then temps got to the 90's here the other day and the Psi was off by about 10 across the board. 30ish hot idle, 50ish hot acceleration.
then we had a huge temp drop over the past couple of days and the psi was back to normal, 40/60.
should temperatures have this kind of affect on oil pressure? just wanted to make sure it wasn't my oil pump trying to give out on me. i've been watching it like a hawk and it's seemed fine, guess it just got my internal alarms going, hah.
