Oil pressure!?

Hey i was just wondering what some of your cars run at for oil pressure? mine is a 90 iroc 5.7 and it idles at about 30 or a little above...and when running it stays around i think it would be 45 ..the mark above the 30.

thanks Lance

Re: Oil pressure!?

the guages on our cars aren't known for being the most accurate but your psi sounds fine.As long as it moves accordingly with rpm the guage is working.I periodically test mine with an independant guage[remove the sending unit in the cooler above the oil filter and screw in the test guage] i have auto meter for the important stuff.For instance my temp guage in the dash is way off.180 on the auto meter guage shows as 165 in the dash and 195 shows as 220 in the dash.
