Sam_Wilson95 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 hi guys, new here and to forums in general so apologies if this is incorrect This morning i had decided to run the car till warm on the drive due to lockdown and noticed the oil pressure gauge spiking more aggressively than before when revving the car and driving i know it is normal for the pressure to increase with rpm as the oil pump is dependant on the engine rpm before today it never exceeded 60psi only when in 6th but now the needle easily exceeds when rolling from still at around 2k rpm or idly revving some key points to note are the car is filled with oil with no oil leaks visible or on the ground, it also doesn't burn oil as i were pointed out before purchasing a 350z that they will consume oil could it be a faulty oil pressure sensor? or is this just the norm? thanks for any advise in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauvp Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Looks normal. Start worrying when there is now pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i have seen online it appears to be normal, it was the sudden change of action by the gauge whether it wasn't reading correctly before thank you for taking your time to comment the help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Yea looks normal but don't rely on the gauge to be assured that all is well in the lubrication department. Regular dipstick checks are ESSENTIAL to ensure that all is well on a 350Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Looks healthy to me, but as been said, do not let your engine run low on oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
