Yeah, yeah, I know. It's not likely the oil pump but humor me.
The red aka turbo car is showing low oil pressure. It has a front mounted oil cooler and some sort of big bore engine. Oil level is full cold and when hot. When cold my oil pressure is good, when hot it isn't. I'm under 10 PSI per 1000 RPM hot. I don't have a history on the engine. I am running 20w50, Mahle filter. I have not put a mechanical gauge on it but it is already running a retrofitted VDO oil pressure gauge. Goal is to get another summer out of driving it if I can. I supposed it wouldn't hurt to try a mechanical gauge and heavier weight oil, but is there a chance it is the oil pump rather than bearings? |
