High oil pressure? This may be why

[@manpreetsingh-lh1km]

Thanks for sharing your experience 👍 , means a lot for newbie’s 😊

[@tips4truckers252]

I learned the hard way don't want others to...

[@mikisrobinson9984]

Thank you sir, you saved my heart

[@timmay2k]

My oil pressure idles 35-45 between 170-182 degrees on my peterbilt. I get 65-70 psi at optimum temps and rpm’s 1500-1750rpm. If you got a bad oil pump you’ll know because it will show a warning light on the dash and low oil pressure. Fyi

[@pwnoonan4049]

My oil pressure has gone from 4o to 65 now it's from 65 and it's creeping up on 80 I can't find one video that's not about the oil pressure sensor is anybody have any idea what it could be besides the oil pressure sensor please help

[@edgarrz8152]

Hey bro did you ever figure it out if u remember

[@truckinfasho2397]

Thanks for the video! That’s was the exact reason. So weird I’ve never noticed that….

[@lk.b3044]

Hensley not good if too high shouldn't go to 50 psi better replace it than cost more money

[@tips4truckers252]

Interesting

[@vthomas87]

I'm trying to figure out how the odometer changed while he was stopped

[@tips4truckers252]

Thanks for pointing that out. Never noticed

[@tips4truckers252]

Oh thats my engine hours

[@joeblackistone8557]

As other dude said its the engine hours not mileage

[@tips4truckers252]

Engine hours

[@edilbertogomez5453]

My truck was warm and it just started giving me a check engine light and noticed my oil PSI isn't going above 55 while driving.

[@tips4truckers252]

55 is usually plenty

[@yuzeyang8847]

hey sir, GM and Ford loves oil pressure gauge in their pickup truck, I am more familiar with BMW and Mopar which they use oil temp quite often. which gauge is better if I tow a lot?
To be honest, I don't see the benefit of oil pressure gauge, it will only act abnormal when my engine is going down. Oil temp gauge can prevent potential overheat which i think it's a better gauge.

[@Overlord3420]

He’s talking about semis not pickups, completely different engines we need oil pressure guages

[@archil7501]

Thank you

[@javiercastillo4246]

Very helpful thanks

[@tips4truckers252]

Needed that today

[@hugojauregui6855]

thanks good info!!!!

[@samisulaiman7967]

my Suburban 2012 reaches full limit with no chkeck ingine light not on is the oil sensor need to be replaced isn't supposed to give an error code to the ECU thanks in advance

[@tips4truckers252]

The only code or light that will come on is if it's too low. My Daytona has 100 psi till it warms up

[@trucker_gainez]

Thanx

[@rogermejia6590]

What if my engine is fully hot 180 degrees and at idle it's 20 pounds

[@dkmussen1993]

That's the oppe site way, either bad oil pump or maybe a clocked oil pump screen, bad head gasket. So on

[@tips4truckers252]

20 is pretty low generally

[@maxenra]

I also noticed when switching to 15w 40 from 10w 30 oil that my pressure shot up both idling and cruising.

[@timmay2k]

Be careful with that 10w30. Not all diesels are compatible.

[@maxenra]

@@timmay2k I stopped using the 10W 30. Its what was in the truck to begin with, though the newer volvo engines are coming from the factory that way. Also, my uptick in oil pressure was from a faulty oil pressure sensor. Imagine that.

[@yeahno1016]

@@maxenra I’m thinking I have a faulty gauge as well. I’ve had this truck 2.5 years and oil pressure oddly high 70 is normal for me. Haven’t blown and seals or gaskets so thinking more like hoping just faulty

[@yeahno1016]

Sorry meant sensor

[@TonberryShuffle]

What about normal oil pressure when cold but at operating temp it goes higher than normal. Then, as RPM's go up, oil pressure goes down?

[@blonded3598]

Change the sensor

[@tips4truckers252]

That very bad

[@mrsuccess336]

This didn’t explain why it’s in the high 80’s

[@tips4truckers252]

Paccar runs 60lbs when hot usually

[@AKH8081]

What should oil pressure be when I first turn it on?

[@tips4truckers252]

Usually around 60-80

[@briantmartin83]

You did not cover the issue.. The oil pump relief valve could be stuck.

[@tips4truckers252]

The point is there is no issue. If you have high oil pressure when the engine is cold you have nothing to worry about its normal.

[@the_car_guy5915]

@@tips4truckers252 Yeah I mean can you even have too much oil pressure?

[@jasondeguire6322]

@@the_car_guy5915 Yeah... when you run too high on oil pressure you blow out oil seals and then you don't have any oil pressure because you don't have any oil.

[@terrellsmith3129]

Good job old school

[@qaissalem4966]

My oil temperature is always at 180 the same as the coolant temperature but when I drive the oil temperature always at 210 or 220 is that normal

[@tips4truckers252]

Perfectly normal. Under a load the oil should get hotter than the coolant and the coolant cools faster.

[@tips4truckers252]

Thank you for your comment

[@TommTooTone]

Science is important and alot of people are just good at math.

[@evodog2300]

Can u show a vid when it's at operating temp? Or screenshots

[@heruhadianmudjenan7126]

So under 100 psi is safr zone right sir?

[@tips4truckers252]

Depends on the engine. Many run between 35-60 when warmed up. Less than 30 is when you have to worry.

[@heruhadianmudjenan7126]

@@tips4truckers252 oh ok...as long i can make not less then 30 psi ITS ok..but how if my rpm car let say about 8000rpm...then i just have to increase the pressure right sir?

[@tips4truckers252]

@heruhadianmudjenan7126 yeah it goes up with rpm

[@rjhtrucking5429]

What engine is it ?

[@tips4truckers252]

Paccar mx13

Useless
