Hey V6 owners...got question for you - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My son is in the US Air Force in Tucson. He just bought a 2013 1LS and then bought the 4 gauge pack from Ofer at Gen5Diy. After installation he tells me his oil pressure is at 70 PSI at highway speeds even after the car is completely warmed up. It drops to around 30 at idle. My V8 does not run that high, so you V6 owners with the 4 gauges - what is the normal reading on your oil press gauge after the car is warm? Thank you for your responses.

That is completely normal, since we are talking oil...does he have a catch can yet

Mine is always high,
70 at startup
30 at idle
at 2000 rpm 60 - 70 after warmup

There was a whole thread on this too I thought, that explained the reason behind this. It is normal

Ok. Thanks guys. I really appreciate the quick responses. He does not have a catch can yet, but the modding is just getting going. His car is Inferno Orange so he ordered an Orange shift ball with black racing stripes from SpeedDawg.com. Oh ya, he has already installed the after market Hurst short throw shifter.
