Re: Oil pressure light was blinking at idle; now constant

The engine will warm up considerably faster at highway speeds because of the load of the engine versus idling, I do not believe it is oil pressure related. The higher rpm's will cause more friction from the rotating parts and rings to heat the block faster.

Hopefully the filter change helped or you will need to add a mechanical gauge to monitor the oil pressure.
