Thanks John. I do remember the nervous part... 9 foot# torque. Although I have a heavy duty oil pump which shows 40 to 80 lbs oil pressure, on some sweeping off ramps I noticed the oil light would come on. That light does not come on with the tuna can. On another note though, I wonder what that light actually means as to what activates it. You would think that it would be an early warning device of some sort. I mean if you're actually suffering from oil starvation at that point, it's value is somewhat diminished. Anyone know the answer to this question? |

Let me show my ignorance on this matter. If my oil pressure gage is showing 60# oil pressure, and the light comes on, which denotes 10# pressure, which one should I not worry about? When I blip the throttle, my oil pressure gage jumps. It's pretty responsive. Certainly able to respond to a drop in oil pressure in the duration of a sweeping turn. Since the light and gage are receiving signals from the same sender, does this mean the "oil light" is super responsive and the gage is highly dampened? Or...? Just curious. |
