Hi all

Every morning when I start my car, oil pressure make 2 to 3 second before going up`?

What you think? oil filter problem? Oil pump problem?


thanks

 

Mine does the same thing, it could be an issue with the line getting primed during start-up or it just might be a normal thing with the gauge taking time to register pressure in the line.

 

MMMMh, My engine is doing a light tak tak tak before the pressure comes...that is why I'm worried...every morning 2 to 3 second, sounds not so good to me...

 

It's normal, it's cold. I use 20W 60 oil and it takes from 6 to 8 seconds to have pressure.

 

Lifter tap before they get a running supply of oil to them. how many miles on the engine?

Yeah, but a cold engine still shouldn't have lifter tap at start-up

 

Mine has lifter tap and low end knock that's why i use 20w60 oil, everything goes away when i get pressure. if i use 10w40 there is no lifter tap but the low end knock doesn't go away and the oil press goes down when hot.

 

When hot I get 30 psi pressure (if the dail is coorect) then 45 when I hit the trottle up to 2000rpm.

My engine have 105 000 miles

 

I got the same thing going on. When i First start my Jeep its pretty low but when i start moving it goes up to 40 psi or so but when i stop at the light or stop sign it can drop all the way down to like 10 or 20 psi. Is this normal also.

 

I drive a brand new half ton chevy for company vehicle and i can start it every morning in 20 degree weather and it has 2-3 seconds of lifter tap before the oil gets up to the top end. Pretty typical scenario in cold weather, especially if you havent started the engine for along time. Lifters bleed down and oil drains down to the pan.

 

Sounds like you have worn rod bearings and that your lifters have seen a full life

 

put a toggle switch for ign and crank over till you get pressure then fire it up... or replace parts .. sounds wore out.. good ole STP engine treatment or Lucas ...
