Is 60 psi too much for oil pressure?
Is 60 psi too much for oil pressure?
The unit of measurement is either PSI or Bar. The ideal oil pressure varies depending on the car brand and model, but generally, the ideal oil pressure is between 25-65 PSI. A PSI over 80 is usually considered too high for the engine to properly be protected from damage.
Does oil pressure drop at idle?
Low oil pressure at idle only, will most often mean that the engine is low on oil. As more power is applied to the engine via acceleration, the pressure builds up inside the engine. High oil temperature can cause low oil pressure. This can lead to oil pressure dropping as the engine warms up.
What’s the idle speed of a Chevy truck?
Thanks. Last edited by EKinMN on Nov 11 2011, 2:54am, edited 1 time in total. Most trucks start up at about 1000 RPM, and then drop down when it warms up. Although mine is a lot different than yours, I can tell you it will idle down to about 500 RPM when warm.
What should I do if my engine idles at 500 rpm?
Put in some better fuel (Shell or Mobil premium) and just DRIVE it. Very little extra cost to you and it cleans as you drive. Your truck will thank you! Generally speaking these injected computer controlled engines have pretty low ldle speeds.

What kind of oil gauge does a 1947 Chevy truck use?
The problem with the gauges is they use 1947-53 technology and this has many disadvantages. 1. The oil pressure gauge. A narrow pipe goes from the engine to the gauge and the pipe contains oil at high pressure. The correct name for the gauge (in Physics) is a Bourdon Gauge.

What kind of gauge does a Chevy truck use?
The original mechanical temperature gauge used an inflexible thin copper capillary between the engine and the gauge. This is also a Bordon Gauge. The coolant heats up the alcohol in the gauge and it unwinds moving the pointer. A modern
