oil pressure question

[redneckaggie]

just installed a new 0-100 psi autometer oil pressure gauge crank up i see about 40 lbs and when it is at operating temp i see 20-25 at idle runnin on the highway i see anywhere from 50-60 does this seem about right for my 7.3

i have a 6.9 with 130000 miles on it and thats exactly what i see on my oil psi gauge

 

[hesutton]

Yeah, that is fine.

I see 50 psi cold idle. 25 warm idle. 50 psi at any RPM above idle.

I only see just over 40-maybe 45psi when running and around 20,sometimes 25 at idle hot, just under 40 at idle cold and have drove from Michigan to New Mexico and back loaded down and the truck never gave me any problems.

Mine 182,000 miles
hot hwy > 43-45
hot idle >18-20

mine sees 5-10 at hot idle.....40 at cold startup....and steady 40 at highway speed

thats a little low at idle

thats a little low at idle

min iirc is 5 psi. IH only spec'd the pressure reading to be 35-40psi at 2k rpm.
these systems put out some serious volume not pressure.

Rebuilt with about 15k, just over 10 hot idle and just over 40 goin down the road, also is feeding a turbo.
delo 15-40

[freebird01]

yep...i asked the question before because i was a bit concerned when i got the truck....mine got a banks turbo too...not sure if that makes a big difference or not
