So when I start her up cold have over 40 psi pressure then driving stays at 40 but when hot and idle will drop to like 20 or slightly under then quickly pick up when I touch the throttle. Is this normal have only 57k mile son her and just had the oil changed.


Just bought her so unsure of what is normal.

Thanks guys

 

20-30 at idle and anything close to 40 at hwy. speed is A-OK.

 

normal

 

mine goes up to 60-80 at acceleration, at that pressure all my seal should be leaking. I am sure my sender is going bad. Thoughts?

 

Bad or plugged with sludge

 

the Manuel says about 13 to 15 pounds at idle is OK and you should have 40 while at speed

 

I figured... Good thing I work at a parts store, now to get them to pay me more......

 

Its sounds fine. When the oil warms up with the engine the pressure will go down compared to when cold.
