Oil pressure

[fuse36]

Is it normal for my oil pressure to jump up to 80 when I get on it? Never really noticed until after my first oil change

From Techlink info about the new engine:

 

Oil Pump

 

The oil pump design on these engines is a two-speed vane-type pump. Its dual-pressure control enables operation at a very efficient oil pressure at lower rpm, and then delivers higher pressure at higher engine speeds.

Mine does it too, but I can't remember if the time I noticed it was before or after the 1st oil change, but I'm sure the oil change has nothing to do with it.

 

I'd rather it have too much oil pressure than not enough lol.

Yes 80 is fine. When my 02 is warmed up at idle and driving its between 55-60 psi and when i run her hard its pegged at 80 psi

Yup, exactly what mine does. I'd be more worried when it reads low at idle.
