  • oil pressure

    when the car ( 93 t/a) is at idle before warming up 900-1000 rpm, the oil pressure is ~60 and at 500 rpm at 20-30 . and it wiggles around a little
    is this normal?

    It's normal for it to be higher when the oil is cold. Your numbers don't sound bad to me.

      That's higher than mine. 15~20 hot at idle according to the dash gage.

        im worried about the wiggling now that the pressure is fine, is that normal?

          When idle rpms are low, it might jump around just a little.

            thanks

            now its under 20 at hot idle, I think its ok, but the temperature gauge moves just a little and I know the engine is because the #1 fan is running.
