My dashboard oil pressure gauge (2000 Silverado 5.3 86,000 miles) shows
60-70 when I drive it on the freeway at about 60-65 mph.
On a friends car, new Tahoe only 15,000 miles, it's usually at 40 or so.
Is this something I should be worried about?
It's been a while since I changed the oil, would that help?
Thanks

....curious to see the replies...
I have a 1997 Chevy 1500 (conversion van) and a 1999 Chevy 3500 (motor home)
and they both indicate 60-70 when driving, 40 at idle, and have since they
were new.

I've never relied on any electric oil pressure gauge.
Mechanical gauge kits are inexpensive, reasonably
accurate and reliable. I buy mine from my farm supply
dealer for under $20 including the tubing kit and
mounting bracket. >> Stay informed about: Oil Pressure gauge |
