Why does my Chevy Corvette have low oil pressure?
The number one reason that your Corvette would have low oil pressure would be a lack of oil. The first thing you should do, is check your engine oil level. If the engine oil level appears to be low (or empty), you’ll need to fill it up. Do not drive a vehicle with low engine oil to the store to buy more oil.
What should the oil pressure be when the engine is warm?

What’s the oil pressure on a GM crate?
I purchased a new 350-cubic-inch GM crate motor. No oil gets to the rocker arms on the passenger side. There’s plenty on the driver’s side, and a mechanical oil-pressure gauge shows about 40 psi. I’m using a Speedmaster oil primer and a half-inch corded variable-speed drill with plenty of power to prime it.

What should the oil pressure be in an engine?

Oil pressure will vary in most engines depending on whether the engine has just been started and the oil is cool or if the motor has run long enough to warm to normal operating temperature.
What kind of oil pump does a corvette use?
It is driven by a new, variable-displacement oil pump that enables more efficient oil delivery, per the engine’s operating conditions.
