Re: oil press to low d16y8
simple things here, but sometimes it is the simple things we overlook
-what weight oil are you using?
-have you tried changing your oil filter?
I had low oil pressure for a while when i was turbo, then I removed the turbo and it was fine. a month later it was running low again, and I couldn't figure it out. no leaks anywhere. Changed the oil with 15w50-- nothing, still low. Then it hit me. Even though the oil filter wasn't over 3k old, the motor had taken some pretty heavy abuse and some heavier oils and additives to help with the low compression. Swapped the oil filter and it was fine again.
When I say low, i was running 15psi warm idle and 55-60 3k. Normal for my engine (b18b) is 35psi warm idle and 70-75 at 3k. Thats what it was on 5w30 before I turbo'd and beat the ---- out of it, now to get that I have to use slightly heavier oils
