Message	Once fully warmed up, it will never climb past ~65 even when boosting and driving at a higher speed. When car is first started up and is cold, the pressure also reads high like yours, while driving. When at idle it sits around 65 as well. Mine never reads "0" though. When fully warmed up and at idle it will be ~20 or so (per the stock, "unreliable" gauge). I can almost bet it's just the reading that's faulty, and not your actual oil pressure. Condition of oil, weight of oil, and level of oil will change your answers as well.

(n/m) - ZXRider 12:59:09 10/07/13 I think it may be physics at play here - Zsgetyoulaid 10:49:57 10/07/13 Mine does the same at cold start and after a few hours - ThunderZ 11:09:57 10/07/13 I am curiours how much the oil pressure goes up - ZXRider 11:14:01 10/07/13 the 60 psi you arre seeing is due to the oil bypass valve - aliaZ 11:34:08 10/07/13 I did not even think of that. - ZXRider 12:57:53 10/07/13 Are you talking about the pressure relief valve on the block - RZturbo 15:22:05 10/07/13 that isn't the valve I'm referring to (n/m) - aliaZ 16:56:21 10/07/13 Which valve? - RZturbo 17:46:56 10/07/13 you're mistaken - aliaZ 22:02:57 10/07/13 There is a regulator valve in the oil pump - RZturbo 23:46:27 10/07/13 the regulator valve in the pump is set to about 100 psi - aliaZ 06:05:31 10/08/13 Fairly similar, takes about 10 min to get the oil temps up - Stanky 12:09:18 10/07/13 What brand oil do you use Stanky? I used to run Mobil - Hydrus (Dallas) 13:44:29 10/07/13 conventional rotella, but I believe Mobil 1 has a 15w-50 - Stanky 14:26:55 10/07/13 Same here. Been thinking about trying RP or Amsoil (n/m) - Hydrus (Dallas) 14:55:00 10/07/13 SPL full flow, I see over 100psi. Redline 15w50 Good stuff! (n/m) - ZinnZ32 15:37:36 10/07/13 What does the full flow kit consist of? - ZXRider 17:34:27 10/07/13 Just took some pics - Stanky 21:12:10 10/07/13 This is what mine is like as well - 300ZMang 07:32:29 10/08/13 Awesome. Thank you for the pictures. - ZXRider 10:40:49 10/09/13
