1G Low Oil pressure

[McHooligan]

Im havin a problem with low oil pressure when the engine is warm. When it's cold its perfect, but as soon as im idling after a short drive the pressure drops. I've tried thicker oil but its still acting the same.
Any thoughts?

How much does it drop? Once these engines are warm, they will idle between the L and the first line. As the engine speed rises, so will the pressure. Does it do this?

Mine does the same. Once warm, the pressure drops at idle and one rev later... it's back to normal.

 

[McHooligan]

It drops half way between the bottom and "safe" line. So that's normal?

 

[thomcasey]

Yup, sure is.

As you are cruising (about 2200 rpms) it should be about at the lower "safe" mark.
