Message	and then they're perfect, just under 60psi while highway cruising and right at the first line at idle. Under boost wnd high rpm it reaches 80psi. I run 15w-40 and might go 20-50.. IMO, its better to have thicker oil and habe oil pressure a tad ob the higher side than to have low weighted oil and have low pressure. Our engines aren't built with the tight tolerances as new cars that run 0w-20 these days.
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
