Re: low oil pressure:(
If the motor needs that much work its time for a swap the 5.3s sell all the time. Ive never seen one not put out at least 40 psi at idle

Re: low oil pressure:(
My 03 I just bought had what I thought was low oil pressure and when I changed the oil and filter(I use A/C Delco) it came up tremendilousy.
I'm running close to 55-60 psi now at operating temp at 60 mph. I do have a tick at idle tho. |
