oil pressure

are you being serious? last time i checked penzoil wasn't too high on the oil charts... hopefully this has changed then?jdub said:Give Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 a try
Use a Wix, NAPA Gold, or PureOne filter.
You whats weird that I always notice in domestic trucks, like chevy or dodge, their oil pressure sits at like 35 - 45 during idle and hammers up to 80+ during regular driving. More domestic overcompensation or what?

Yeah...I believe in running the cheapest, lowest quality oil I can find. I want to make sure the turbo cokes, and the motor sludges up as quickly as possible.
Jeez...I can't believe you even asked me that question

I was thinking the same :biglaugh:
probably 5-10 psi at idle and 40 psi @ ~2700 using castrol 10w-30.. gonna switch to penzoil 5w-30 soon..
8 psi at hot idle and about 38 psi at 3000 rpm on Penz Plat 5-20. I'm sure it's right as I arguably have the world's most accurate stock gage. Recently calibrated it using NIST traceable standards in order to resolve a slight idle speed offset.
Come on Dub, everybody knows Pennzoil is full of wax and causes sludge

thats why 7ms use it so we can get high oil pressure so we wont get rodknock :aigo:jetjock said:Come on Dub, everybody knows Pennzoil is full of wax and causes sludge
I like mobile 1, but i did not know pennzoil has lil guys working in your oil

domesics run higher oil pressure because they usually have looser tolerances so they need it
dunno what an LS1 runs for oil pressure as they run VERY tight tolerances (to the point where they're quite a bit down on power until they're broken in, and they get noisy once broken in).
I'm using castrol 20w 50 (IIRC, I'd have to go look, don't yell at my too much as it gets hot as hell here in texas), bumped my oil pressure up a LOT, but once it's fully warm and been running awhile the oil pressure isn't much higher than normal (since it's so damn hot here)

where the HELL does IJ get these images at, he's either really bored (get to work on that car, or better yet, get some good pics of the entire thing!) or he has them all saved on his harddrive for cases like this...

There's a reason your oil pressure is high when the motor is cold...it's called resistance to flow. Running a heavy weight oil on a tight tolerance motor is not a good idea. Suggest you read this:
