Besides my right foot, what's causing the oil pressure to go as high as 69 PSI? I can't remember it being so high before insalling the RKS headers.

HELLLLLPPPPPPPPP!! :eek:

Also, what's normal oil temp for freeway amd spirited driving?

69 is high, but shouldn't be a problem. I assume that's at fairly high revs, not idle?

Normal oil temp for me on the highway at 80+mph is around 212, but it takes a while to get there. Same for spunky driving in the twisties.

:iagree: What oil/filter are you using? Could make a difference, or you might have a bad sensor. just keep an eye on it for awhile. :smash: :rolleyes:

Seen my pressure in the low 50's this winter. Ususal averages 35-45. Oil temp has gotten as high as 235 with spirited driving in the moutains (hard acceleration from 2nd to 3rd)

Typically oil temp stays between 200-212.

Alex did you check the oil like I told you over lunch, remember Andy drained some oil and didn't replace it that I can recall. Let me know what happens, my pressure goes up anytime I have low oil. :cheers:

What is your oil pressure at idle?

John Shiels

I checked mine and it was 58 at high RPM and at 180'

Oil was a little on the low side, but nothing major. Ended up talking with the dealer and Andy and both said it was within normal, especially with running a bit cooler. Low PSI is what to watch out for!

39-41 PSI

Thanks John. In speaking with the tuner, these pressures should be fine, given the RPMs I'm living at.

What oil viscosity are you running... I switched back to 10w-30 and my pressure went up especially in the colder weather.

10W30 like always. It appears the lower engine temps might be causing it to run a little higher.

Thats very good! mine is usually around 37-40 depending on the temp. as long as you're not going over 80 psi I wouldn't worry about it, 60-70 psi is good, but too much can be bad, but it's rare that it ever happens! :thumbs:
