all my levels OK?

I know I'm asking a lot of brief questions today but I want to make sure everything is good with my car before I spend any more money on it. Attached is what my car is at in drive on the brake. All I have is a K&N FIPK and Jasper Class 1 Trans. Is this normal for the oil pressure and RPM? Yes this is where it is steady, the RPMs are at a constant.

thats exactly what mine looks like

as long as it doesnt ever rise, like during acceleration

**adham** · 06-02-2006, 05:46 AM

mine does rise during acceleration
i didnt know it wasnt supposed to do that

Your oil pressure should rise as your rpm's increase. I think he may have meant as long as it doesn't rise while at idle. Your oil pump is a mechanical pump. So as you increase your rpm's you also increase the amount of oil that is being pumped raising your psi.

Yeah looks normal for RPM too, on a scanner mine fluctuated from 525-585 in gear, tach isn't real accurate.

Looks good.

lower your water temp and the oil psi will be a little higher

Thats what mine looks like at idle, As said above your oil pump is off the crank so higher rpm, faster pump turns and wow more pressure lol
Just bc guages look good should also check fluids and stuff if you dont

Looks exactly like mine when at running temp

**Musclefan21** · 06-04-2006, 06:25 AM

my oil is at excatly on quarter?? do l need to put some oil in the car?

**5LtrBtr** · 06-04-2006, 08:50 AM

There is a little yellow thingy under your hood that says ENGINE OIL. With the car off pull that out, wipe it off, put it back in, pull it out and look at it. If the oil isn't where it is supposed to be then YES put some in it.

lol, alright here's the specifics on what's going on with my oil pressure. the last oil change it was over-filled, the service engine light came on, and i let out some of the oil to make it at a good pressure. on normal drives it's at 40 and goes to 60 on the highway. last night it was a little under 40 and flickering back and fourth, and when i went on the highway it was at 40. i checked the fluids and they're fine. the oil was changed like 4 months ago but it only has 1500 miles on it and it still has some color to it. i usually change it every 3000 miles with mobil 1 5w-30 and by the time i'm done with it, it's pitch black and i lose about a quart (its going in the TB, i know about the oil catch cans i'm just broke). whereas my friend loses 2 quarts every 3000 miles so i don't see my problem as a mandatory fix. i just wanted to be sure everything is fine with the oil pressure after it was over-filled.
