Oil pressure gauge

[dspithaler@...]

Mike Mine has always ran at 80# when just starting up until it gets
warmed up then it cruses at 70# & drops back to 35# at idle at a stop. Mine has
done that since I have had it which is aver 3 years.& 25000 miles. Do you
think there is something wrong with the gauge or sender when it starts & runs
at 80# till operating temp?

I wonder about both gages. 80 is about 40 #s high for idle pressure. Sweet
spot is 35 hot idle and 65/75 at cruise with Rottella 15/40. The dash gage has
an electric sender as far as I know and that sender might be faulty.

My engine oil pressure gauge is not working properly. I was road
testing the other day and the gauge read 25 Psi. I installed a
caterpillar mechnical gauge in the r.h. cylinder headtoday and at idle
cold it shows 80 PSI (it was about 51 degrees when testing)while the
dash gauge still shows 25 psi
Anyone replaced the dash gauge? it looks to be a job. ANY suggestions
or knowledge would be appreciated.

Indicated 80 # @ low idle is high, even cold. I would be much more concerned
with pressures at operating temp.

I don't think it has a sensor, I think its a mechnical gauge. will keep ypu
posted
thanks

I agree with hot oil operating pressure, i was simply making sure i had oil
pressure
thanks

Thanks, Ron, I now recollect that gauge. I'll have to do some cleaning to read it~

I'm wondering if that sending unit is located beside the direct reading gauge that Ron just mentioned?
