what oil psi is the norm??
I have a stock oil pump it is not to new. I am running 5w 10 full syithetic, the car has 116,000 miles on it.
30psi at 1000rpm up to 55psi at full load 3000-6000rpm dose that seam a bit low? ------------------ 1988 LX 5.0 2.73 Gears, MAC Control arms, Steal Mounts, Mac Headers, X-pipe W\cats, Edelbrock cat\back, Ram air, K&N. MM Brake System Upgrade Package, MM Front Grip Package,H&R sport spings |

Actually that is pretty darn good considering the miles on the car and the weight of the oil you are using. I wouldn't worry about it.
Regular oil changes is the best maintainance you can do for a car. ------------------ '82 GT 351W C-4,BBK headers,Carter 625 carb,Comp.Cam,Flowmaster exhaust. 1988 GT...T-5,bone stock |

I agree that is pretty decent pressure for the weigh poil and how many miles you have. I think they say 30lbs at idles with 5w30 is good for the low.
I ran a High Volume and had 80psi at idle, over 100psi cruising, and after it got warm I had 70-73psi at idle. I took that thing out and put a stock pump back in I now have 75 at cold and around 45-50 at warm idle, and around 60-65 while crusing, all with 5w30 Castrol. ------------------ Check Out My Site 91GT,Holley SysteMAX II Kit-Heads 2.02" x 1.60" port matched to a 1262,Anderson N-61,24#,76mm C&L,Full MAC exhaust 1-5/8" Long tubes,2-1/2" O.R H-Pipe,2 1/2" cat back, No A/C or PS or emissions, 12" K&N Filter,RNH PERFORMANCE Ram Air,Ron Davis Radiator,Full Suspension,S&W 8pt "X" brace,JAZ seats,3:73's,Welds..etc,4:30's and 31 splines coming very soon! |

Thanks For the info. It makes me feel better I did not want to put a new oil pump in. Thanks.
