Oil pressure??

[cejsmith]

Can someone tell me what the correct idle and running oil pressure should be on a 5l rv8.

The reason I ask is I just went to see a car and at idle is showed just under 30 but never really increased with revs.

No strange noises, the car has done over 110k miles ( it must of had a rebuild by now I would have thought) , but as I said the gauge didn't really move.also what should be the running temp be ?

You really can't trust the gauge and sender, they are a guide only.

Far better to check with a proper mechanical gauge straight off the sender pick up point.

Can't really do that on a test drive 😩😩
