Message	Oil viscosity has an inverse relationship with temperature. In normal terms: As the oil warms up, it becomes thinner. This allows the oil to flow more freely, and reduces the pressure required to move it. Im confident there are some guys on here with something higher than a high school education (guilty here) and have more in depth information on this than I do. That being said, I could be off on this and hopefully someone smarter can chime in on it.
Follow Ups	Let's Talk about Oil Pressure - ZXRider 10:26:34 10/07/13 Mine is somewhat similar - 300ZMang 10:35:25 10/07/13 I see. Glad to see similar readings. (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
