Oil pressure in a 3.1l

Post by Guest »

I was driving home, and I never noticed this before, but where's the Oil pressure supposed to be at? At Idle, it'd be a little above the 1/4 mark, and when revving it up, it'd go to nearly the 3/4 mark. Is this normal? Call me stupid, and I know the principal, but I just got an oil change and I didn't want anything to get screwed up. No oil = no good motor.

Thanks.... Thats pretty much EXACTLY what I was hoping for. I just wanted someone else to say it's doing just what it's supposed to.

What it reads depends on alot of factors, but mainly the type and weight of oil you run.  And if the car is warmed up or not obviously.  Unless its reading really low and the oil dummy light comes on, I wouldnt worry about it.
