What oil PSI should I have
Ok gentlemen, enlighten me.
I noticed oil spots on my driveway and when I looked under the car I found I had a leaky front seal and leaky front trans seal. I made an appointment for tomorrow to have all the engine and trans seals changed (Warranty). What I'm not sure of is my oil pressure? when the car is crusing, my pressure is about 45 to 55 Lbs and at idle it is about 25-35Lbs. Since they are going to have the pan down anyway, do I need them to check the pump or is this pressure OK. The car has 57000Mi on it.

That's good pressure. Idle pressure is better than a lot of people.

Thanks guys, this is my first car in about 10 years. I have had Ford ranger this whole time and it had a constant 45 to 60 oil PSI. This was a nice truck but if the wind was blowing and you were going up hill, you could get out and walk faster. And don't even try to pass anyone on the HWY. When this camaro wants to pass, you can't hold it back. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
