Question Oil pressure

What should be the oil pressure on a 94 LT1? It's always seemed low to me but this is the first one I've ever owned or driven.

Re: Oil pressure

Depending on how many miles it has on the motor. I would when cold you should at least see ~60psi and when warm at an idle no lower than 20psi. I know after my rebuild my oil presure even when hot has not been south of 35-40psi.

Re: Oil pressure

That sound about right. It has 115k on it. I was just worried the pump may be crapping out but I guess not. Thanks a lot.
