Oil Pressure

[royg6677]

My question is what is the normal oil pressure reading for the new 6.0 l V8 at approx. 60 MPH in high gear about 1750 RPM? I had a 2007 5.3 and it's oil pressure ran about 55LB my new 6.0 is between 35 and 40LB. Is this normal?

That's exactly what mine is at the same RPMs. That being said, there is some play (GM will say variable readings) in the display. So the readings will be averaged out and represented as a analog indicator position.

Chris thanks for the reply. I know they are different engines and just asking around what is normal oil pressure before going to dealer and asking.

Thats what mine is 35-40 pretty much all the time. Im not worried about it . Its stays consistantly in that range. But to answer your question at 60 mph my oil pressure is 39lbs.

Thanks crankman I only have about 500 miles on the truck was just wondering if this was normal range or not. Looks like this is what the 6.0 operates at. Red Rider
