Thread: Low oil pressure

Tweet

Or, your oil pressure sensor is inaccurate. See if you can get a hand held from a tool rental, or auto parts place that has tool rentals. Double check it before panicking and jumping through hoops you might not have to. Also, change the filter to a high quality one. If you used a cheapie it could be in bypass, or not flowing properly. Lastly, their numbers and yours could be different if you're not using the same viscosity grade of oil they did, measuring it at the same rpm, and checking at the same port, when they tested it. "High" oil pressure isn't the end all to be all, flow is the first and most important criteria.
