What should the oil pressure be on a 1998 Chevy truck?
1998 Chevy Truck K 1500 Truck 4WD V8-5.7L VIN R Oil Pressure (Minimum at Normal Operating Temperature) 1000 42 kPa (6 psig) 2000 125 kPa (18 psig) 4000 166 kPa (24 psig)
What should the oil pressure be in an engine?
Still, oil pressure is an important monitor of how well the engine oil is protecting the moving parts of an engine. Oil pressure will vary in most engines depending on whether the engine has just been started and the oil is cool or if the motor has run long enough to warm to normal operating temperature.
Why does my 5.3 liter engine have low oil pressure?
This is one of the common 5.3 Liter Chevy Engine Problems but it mostly occurs in the older models. So, if you are running an older engine, keep this in mind. However, if you believe there is a real problem, have a look at the potential causes below: This is the common cause of low oil pressure.
What is the minimum oil pressure at idle?
The minimum oil pressure at idle is only 5 psi (34.5 kpa). The minimum oil pressure at 2000 engine rpms is 35 psi (241 kpa). Both of these pressures are using a mechanical oil pressure gauge that can measure the low 5 psi readings.

What should the oil pressure be in a GMC Truck?
When its started cold it reads 60, when its warmed up at cruising speeds of about 55-60mph it reads 40, but as soon as the RPMs drop when I coast, idle, or drive under about 10-15mph (warmed up) the pressure reads 20. Is this normal.. Sure doesnt seem right to me. Yep totally normal mine is the exact same readings using a synthetic 5w30 oil.
What kind of oil does a GM 5.7L use?
The oil pump is on the front of the block, and the oil filter is near the rear of the engine. All Gen III engines are designed to be used with GM’s AC Delco motor oil. The LS1 5.7L uses 5W30.
What should normal oil pressure be at Cold?
At cold, the oil pressure is reading ~60 psi. When I rev it to 1.5k rpm, it jumps to 75 psi. I only let it run for 5 minutes, just want to make sure it wasn’t leaking.
