292 Oil Pressure

[RustyPile]

Even though you trust your "aftermarket" gauge, it's always a good idea to "get a 2nd opinion".. Obtain another quality gauge and compare that gauge's reading to the one you're using now.. If the readings coincide, you probably have issues with the pump or other items. If the readings don't coincide, you have a gauge issue... Either way, the symptoms should NOT be ignored..

Thanks for all the input. Can especially appreciate the advice to double check the gauge (I once spent a lot of time trying to “fix” an overheating problem that turned out to be a bad gauge…embarrassing!).

Going back to the original question though, does anyone know the factory recommended pressure readings? Hot / cold, idle / high speed? The factory gauge only goes to 60# so figure it’s not more than that. Handbook says needle may peg on cold start and to not drive away until it goes to about half scale. 30#, at idle?

Anyway, would be interested in what Chevy had to say about this. Someone out there must know.

Thanks
