Oil Pressure

I have a 95 S10 Blazer. What is considered normal oil pressure (as read by the in-dash guage)? What is normal pressure at idle and at speed (say 60 MPH)? Thanks.

You should try and do a search through this forum. There are many threads asking this same question.

The shop manual on my 95 blazer 4.3 stated something wild like 6 to 10 psi at idle and not much more at mid RPM. Purpose is supposed to be low resistance, same reason for the roller cam.

I've got a '97 but they should be pretty close. Or I think they would be. I run about 40 at idle and 60 going down the road on the dash gauge.

I have a 1995 S10 and I will help you.

This is with a warm engine.

Idle: 1/4-1/2
Running 60mph: 1/2-3/4

Yeah, I read the manual wrong.
It stated 1000 rpm--- 6 psi
2000----- 18 psi - (Minium)
So these would be with the enging knocking on deaths door
