Thanks for the encouraging words. If I made reference to oil pressure being the pumps job I apologize, because as you mentioned it doesn't. The truck uses 0/20w of which up until I bought this truck I had never heard of it. My 2014 Mustang Track Package uses 5/50w and I've used 20/40 and 20/50 racing oil forever. I guess if the dealer says it's fine I have him put it on the service order although I've heard/read alot of people having problems with the oil sending unit...which is behind the intake manifold and is probably a 3 hour job to get at it. What ever happened to analog gauges???

I totally understand what you are saying and back in my drag race days we used to say 10psi for every 1000rpm. The issue is that in in 6500 miles the truck has never done this, it's always been around 40 or a little more cool and once it warms up when you come to a light it's 25 to 30 at idle in gear. One the road at 65/70 it's just a little over 40...in the past when I put the stomped on the throttle and kicked down a gear or two the motor would hit 5000rpm or so and the gauge showed maybe 50psi but never has it gone beyond that. I have made an appointment to take it to the dealer so we'll see what they say.

I bought my 2016 Custom Silverado 4x4 last year and have just put 6800 miles on it. I had the engine oil changed at 6000 miles and everything was normal. Normal oil pressure cold was a little over 40psi and warm at a top light it was around 30psi. I was coming home this afternoon and while passing a car to avoid an accident it kicked down into 2nd gear and I saw the oil pressure gauge go to almost 80psi. At the stop light it stayed at 40psi. The truck has thrown no codes and engine sounds like it's normal self...any ideas?????
