Hey guys.

So my idle psi is around 20-25, then when it got warm it dropped to around 5psi. WTF?!? Its a brand new melling oil pump. Should I just give it some time to break in? I have the oil pressure line tapped with my turbo feed line. This wouldn't cause the low pressure would it?

well my oil pressure is low in my head to, its normal, but that low..i dunoo..could be ur sensor

mine is

cold-45-75
kinda warm - 35
normal temp - from 15-10


its normal to be low, but 5...i duno.....

oh, yea, i forgot, thats while im driving..

when im idle, its about 5psi, when the moter is just chillen warm, once i hit the gas it will go up to 15, then to 10 somtimes (when its nice and hot)

but if you take it out on a hard drive, and its 5, somthen is messe up

what kind of oil filter are you using? I know fram casues low oil pressure sometimes cuz i thas happened to ne. Just a thought.

winter project: custom t3/t4 turbo and some others

If it were 5psi, the oil light would be on. If it's a 90* Autometer oil pressure gauge, it's more like 12-15psi where you think it's 5. How do i know? Mine did the same thing, and it has been perfectly fine for two years. (until i blew it up again).

Factory oil pressure spec is 12-15psi at idle hot, AFAIK.
