Weirdo
Hey all. Seen several questions about oil pressure dropping to oh $hit level at idle when hot. Mines been doing that fer 8 months. Pressure is high until engine gets to operation temp (190), then levels off to 10 PSI per 1000 rpm at running speed. Then drops to zilch at the stop light with the check gauges light blinking at me.
Guess what?
Right about 8 months ago I changed my oil filter to a high filtration Mobil 1. Today I installed a remote oil filter that required a standard base Fram filter. Drivin to town I noticed my oil pressure never dropped below 6 PSI at idle. No oh $hit and no blinkin light.
I'm guessing the boys at the factory never expected the 5.7 TBI engine to have anything more than a standard paper oil filter. Hope this helps.
