Low oil pressure


Recommended Posts

Hi , im getting low oil pressure on idle.. 15/18psi when fully warm. Im a bit worried and i don't know much was this problem going on as i installed the aem oil pressure gauge few months ago and was always like this since then.

Changed the oil relief valve but still same readings.

Should I replace the pump for safety or can i add some washers in the oil relief valve just to increase the pressure by few psi?

Anyone did this procedure?

Wouldn't I be right in saying the hotter the oil temp, the Lower the oil pressure goes? When I been sitting in heavy traffic in the past on hot days, and the oil temp go above 90 degrees I find my oil pressure goes down aswell, but normal all other times.
