oil pressure questions?
At startup I see near 40, then at warm idle I see about 10-15 or just above the red mark. I have indiglo overlays and it just may be a minor misperception as well although everything is fairly accurate. At cruise I see about 30. I havent checked at WOT because I'd rather not be looking at my gauge and crash though its probably 40-55psi, but I'll check it out soon after this major blackout thing passes.
I have really low oil pressure, about 6 psi. Cold start it's just over 40 psi and after I start driving it drops right down to about 20 psi or so and at warm idle it will sit just above the red and sometimes the check gauges light comes on and then goes back up a little when i step on the peddle. I looked into it and was told my bearing clearances were off. Interestingly enough no one seems to be able to tell me why this happened or how it happened. Anyhow I've been told I'll need a new engine soon. Doc says 7- 8 mths, will see.
