I was wondering if these oil pressures were normal for everyone else. I could swear that i had consistent oil pressures above 40, no matter what the rpm'* were.

This picture is my oil pressure in gear, stopped at a stop light (simulated):




Next is a picture of my oil pressure while driving (simulated):




And the next one is my oil pressure while in sitting in park (for real, not simulated!):




As you'll notice, i made sure to incude what gear i was in and rpm'* in the pictures so you can see what'* going on. Is this an oil pressure problem at lower rpm'* or is this normal?

Based on the pictures, I don't see a huge reason for concern right now. Idle a little below 40 at a light is normal, especially in warmer temperatures. Your pressure while driving is a little lower than mine (mine is always at 60), but it'* not BAD at all.

My idle in park is also 60. As soon as I start up, it'* at 60. Yours is 40? Not as high as I'd expect. What'* your pressure on startup?

I'd get a mechanical gauge to make sure what you pressure is with more accuracy.

My pressure is pretty high, prolly around 60-ish at start-up. The colder the engine, the higher the pressure. When it get'* hot outside and the engine is hot, the pressure is lower.

Matt:
60ish is a normal reading at start up.

Hiow many miles on the current oil and what brand oil and filter will also have an impact.

I'd say you're fine then. I just wanted to make sure you didn't get 40 on startup. Just keep an eye on it, and take into account what Bill said.

Is 70 too high. Im running castrol syntec 5w-30. 116000mi

I had a oil pressure gadge issue last year and I thought there was something wrong also. From the looks of your pictures it looks okay to me. But keep an eye on it, mine was whacky and 2 months later it went out. I need a new sensor. It'* fairly common actually.

those pressures your seeing are perfect..there'* nothings wrong!!!

I have maybe 1000 miles on the oil = one month into my last oil change.


Thanks for the responses guys. Just wanted to make sure nothing was going wrong.
