I just installed a front oil cooler using -12 lines from engine to cooler.I test drove the car Sunday for about 5 miles. I noticed my oil pressure at speed was around 50 psi
and at idle around 20 psi. The oil temp while driving was about 170 or so. Before I installed the cooler my presure was around 20-25 psi at about 2000 rpm which I think is normal. The motor is new with around 1100 miles and does have a HD oil pump.I also use 20W-50 oil. Is this high pressure a problem or not??? |

This thread got me wondering.
I have a new 2.0 TIV with a high flow oil pump, and a front oil cooler. At idle i also have around 20 psi, but this weekend, at highway speeds (80 mph), turning around 3000 rpm in 5th, i had like 70 psi of oil pressure. Is this too high? the temp guage is stock, and is right in the middle. Outside temp was 80+ degrees, so it was not too cold.... just wondering. |
