oil pressure Reply #2 – September 07, 2007, 10:16:43 AM Well, My 302 runs around 40-45. I don't know about the 4 cylinders.... It would be more helpful if people knew what engine you are talking about. 4,6,or 8 cyl? Quote Selected
oil pressure Reply #3 – September 07, 2007, 10:28:28 AM pointng at the R is fine. Doesnt really matter what engine you got as loing as your not at 20psi. any lower and lower yet with throttle applied and you have problems.40-60 is about average for all cars out there, you cant really tell what you really have until you do a manual reading.
