hows my oil pressure ok i have been reading alot of threads on here about low oil pressure and i just have a question about mine because no one has answered it in the other threads so i have a 2000 WS6 its got 76K on it also i live in FL hot as hell here now so when i start it cold i has just abot the 40 psi mark as i drive it goes up and all and when i beat on it a little or sit in traffic and it gets hot 212+ at idle oil psi stay above the 1/4 mark alomst in the middle of 1/4 and 1/2 just little below that as soon as i tap the throttle is goes up to alomst 1/2 and crusing its at or just barly below 1/2 and when i stomp on it it goes to 60 or barly below if not all 60psi i use mobil 1 10w30 with mobil filter is that normal i had the car for about a month and its always done that is that ok so should i be worried? thanks guys for all the great info |
your good , as long as you have 10psi for every 1000rpm your fine |
yeah its kinda hard to see if its 10 or not but it climbs high when i stomp on it and crusing when its hot its right at 1/2 marker |
my start up is right around 40psi and it settles to around 20-25psi once hot at idle. but it is very sensitive to any pedal input and will shoot up to over 60psi instantly, like a tach. car has h/c/h etc.... w/~420 rwhp and driven daily. engine was rebuilt about 12k ago and the psi has always been the same. mobil1 0-30 |
all this is making me feel alot better about it now |
on hot days mine does about the same the the OP's does. 25-30 psi hot 45-50 psi cold. Goes up with throttle as well and will hit 60 psi at full throttle. |
I just don't understand why these cars vary so much between them. Now I can understand if you have work done to it, but if you get a bunch of guys running about the same stuff or close to stock, shouldn't this stuff be the same across the board? |
the "1/4 mark"on the dash is 35psi and the "3/4 mark" on the dash is 70psi, according to my mechanical gauge i have under the hood of my car. once my car warms up the gauge sits at the "1/4" mark and stays there under RPM, maybe it will hit the 40psi mark. it`s been doing this for 40,000 miles now. you might need a new sender like me. |
hmm a sender huh well here comes off the intake i mind as well do it its got 76k on it |
you can do it with the intake still on |
