On hot days I have been having marginal oil pressures. The oil temp climbs up to 240 and the pressure at RPM drops to 35 or so. At idle its about 10.
I changed my oil today and replaced the 10W-30 with 20W-50. That should help some. While I was at it, I decided to pull out the pressure relief spring and piston - the one on the front bottom of the engine. I managed to get it out with two screwdrivers, but there must be a better way. The spring and piston seemed fine. Clearly not the problem. I almost wish I hadn't put a pressure gauge in the car now. Ignorance is bliss. |
