Oil pressure?

red01 · April 8th, 2010, 01:12 PM

just wanna make sure that my new motor is holding good pressure, not sure where it should be. At idle it holds around 25-30psi, cruising down the highway it sits around 65psi. when I go wot it will hold around 80psi and stay there as long as I shift quick, if not it will fall by maybe 1 0r 2 psi. Is this good pressure? im running 5/30.

cold pressure on mine is 80lbs
engine hot at 1500 rpms its around 42
engine hot at 2000-2100 its about 62 lbs
at idle hot is about 12lbs (stop n go traffic)
rule of thumb 10 psi for every 1000 rpms
you should be just fine
