churtz Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi. This is my first post so please bear with me I bought my 350 last week and have a question about the oil psi gauge. Its the latest version of the 350 on a late 2008 (higher power engine). When idling, it measures approx 30 psi. but if i hit the loud pedal it gets up to about 110psi from 3,500 rpm onwards. When i'm cruising @ about 30mph in 4th, it sits at about 60psi.... is that right or something wrong there?? Any help would be appreciated.

350ash Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Welcome! Just to add to what rtbiscuit said, the oil pressure is dependant on engine speed so higher revs = higher pressure and vice versa. And the pressures you mentioned sound ok to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
