stock oil pressure guage- 80
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 6:13 am
I'm getting a bit concerned about my oil pressure guage, can someone put my mind at rest?
Previously, the guage pretty well sat about the first mark, and rose to middle occasionally. From memory it really didn't fluctuate much.
After an oil change a few months ago, it moved a little more frequently.
After a tough boat pull for a few hours up and down a highway, it now would rise to the 2/3rds mark when cold or at highway speed.
With another oil change and filter yesterday, I"ve just had it idling (only for a few mins) and its stilling between the 2/3rd's mark and high... I'm sure it will drop down as everything warms up, but any ideas why the guage is now more active than ever?!
