2005 Silverado WT 4.8. Recently purchased and restoring.

 

209K, I am at 40 PSI after additive and changing the oil with high mileage conventional oil. It was  lower.

 

Appreciate the information, but just another "thing" i should look at.

 

40 PSI is in the middle of the gauge and what I was taught, middle is good.

 

I have read about 60 PSI?

 

Would anyone know what the correct oil pressure should be ?

 

TIA

KC

 

 

Minimum oil pressure specs are as follow:

 

6 psi at 1,000 engine RPM

18 psi at 2,000 engine RPM

24 psi at 4,000 engine RPM

For those of you that have noticed oil pressure drops, etc. There IS a screen below the oil pressure sending unit that does become clogged!! I have an 07 GMC Sierra, 4x4 Crew Cab, SLE2 package, 144,0
