oil pressure

[ca18det240hatch]

just wanted to know, what are you guys seeing for oil pressure?

ive noticed that mine is a teensy bit under what it says in teh fsm

i get about 10 psi at 900 rpm...around 800 rpm which is where it hovers at idle its only at like 7 psi.

at 3000rpm i get 60 psi give or take 5

is this normal? dont know how accurate my gauge is either.

thanks in advance

Sounds a bit low at idle, but good at speed. You should be fine. Mine's low all over. I'm not looking forward to taking this motor apart again. I'm hoping it's just my leak at the HG and it'll come up to normal once I get that fixed.

yah, the fsm says 11 psi at idle....i dont know what would cause it to be low.....my tolerances were perfect. Im thinking my gauge is somewhat inaccurate. If i even touch the gas, the pressure shoots right up quickly.

my bros eclipse is doing that... he said at idle its at like 0 and then shoots up once he touches the gas...i need an oil guag.. where to u run the gauge to ive never seen how it works lol
