I could use some help trying to ascertain what a min, normal range and max oil pressure might be.
I'm not relying on the idiot gauge in the dash.
I have a banks 0-100 psi sending unit mounted on the top of the filter housing.
I was getting 0.2 psi at idle and 112 psi at 2000 psi. No doubt that sending unit is goofed.
So I began troubleshooting and bought a mechanical oil pressure testing gauge to see what that would read.
Here are the readings that I took this morning.
Idle (750 RPM) - Eng Temp 130°F = 55 PSI
Idle (750 RPM) - Eng Temp 140°F = 45 PSI
Idle (750 RPM) - Eng Temp 155°F = 37 PSI
Then, took it out for a drive to get the engine temp up to normal operating temp.
Idle (750 RPM) - Eng Temp 190°F = 24 PSI
Park 2000 RPM - Eng Temp 190°F = 70 PSI
Do these numbers seem normal for where I am taking the reading? Engine has 92K.
Very interested in getting some definitive numbers for:
Minimum:_
Normal Range:_
Maximum:_
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much in advance....
