oil pressure
05-27-2004, 08:30 AM
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.

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.
