After some other threads about oil pressure i wanted to ask my own.
My 94 ta is showing about 25 on the pressure gauge at 1600rpm in 6th gear. Is this fine or a sign of trouble. On start up it is around the middle of the gauge but slowing goes down to 25 or so.

Thanks,

 

25psi is fine. I think you want a min of 15psi running hot and an increase of about 10psi for every 1000RPM.

If you haven't removed the oil cooler, it is highly recommended that you do asap.

 

I haven't removed the oil cooler yet. I just heard about that. I will read into it. Should you remove it or can i buy a replacement one that would work better?

 

Can you explain the importance of removing the oil cooler? I haven't removed mine, and I'm around the same mileage...

 

running 10w30 oil at 112,000 miles i see about 30-35 psi at 1600 rpm fully warmed up

i have also heard of people removing their coolers, but i thought it was the style of cooler that came on 96-97 LT1's i thought they were a little different internally and easier to plug up with crud, but the earlier coolers were ok

can anyone elaborate?

 

If it helps i run 10w-30 Mobil 1. I have for about 25k miles.

 

the oil coolers use coolant in the rad. to warm up the oil during and after start up. *I think*. I do know that they easily clog up and removing them usually results in more pressure.
The 94-95 cars had a better design i understand but still, after time they will clog. I dont think the 93 cars came with them.
If you search around you will find plenty of threads about removing it.

 

Could this be a cause of a coolant leak i can't find anywhere? It hits the ground well behind were the hose are.
