Higher Oil Pressure

Aug 17, 2006 1 Replies

I went on a long road trip in my 95 Chevy 1500 with a 5.7L. Normally at speed the Oil pressure was at 40lb from 1.5-above rpm and at idle drops to 20-30lbs. After the Trip i noticed that the oil pressure at



2.5k rmp and above it is setting around 60lb, at 1k to 1.5k rpm it sets
40lb and at idle it sets at the normal 20-30lbs. The shop i normally take my truck to say I shouldnt be worried about it. Is this something that I should have looked at or is no big deal.

Check it with a mechanical gauge first.
