Head oil pressure
I have a digital oil pressure gauge with the transducer mounted in the rear of the drivers side head up against the firewall. I am using Mobil 1 5W30 oil.
On startup it usually runs between 40-70 psi but under normal conditions, when warmed up, at a stop sign it will usually drop to between 20-25 psi. On a few occasions while towing and idling it would drop to 19 or 18 psi. However it generally drops to the lower 20's.
These are readings I have always been getting since I installed the gauges 4 years ago.
Is this an acceptable pressure at this location?
