oil pressure
Stumped again with an odd question, my oil pressure when the car is at idle is low but when i give it gas, the pressure rises. Is this normal? I was told so and that all i needed was a aftermarket oil gauge. Lost in oil pressure land... Jeremy

Re: oil pressure
Oil pressure is normally lower at idle than above idle. Ford oil pressure senders are notorius for clogging up sometimes. If your gage shows you're losing all oil pressure, you're sender is probably the culprit. If it just drops down around 20-30 psi, don't worry.

Re: oil pressure
But yeah, stock gauges are notoriously inaccurate. Get and after-market gauge to monitor the exact PSI.
