Oil

[earp]

Hey, once that I've figured it out that my car is a 2000 Blazer 4.3L V6, now I would like to ask anybody which is the oil pressure normal operating range for this car.

I ask since my car is always between 300 Kpa and 400 Kpa. Obviusly it depends on the RPM but let's say it moves between that rminimun when idle and that maximun when at 3000 RPM.

Maybe it's not wrong but I'm a beliver that for those things like temp, voltage and oil pressure the manufacturers generaly place the "normal" value at the center of the gauge, and current values for oil preassure is above the gauge center (275 Kpa)

thanks

Doing a quick conversion in my head, that's 50 to 60 PSI or so. My truck stays at about that pressure when it first starts up. As it runs and the oil thins out when it gets warm, it drops to about what would be around ooooh - 280 KiloPascals. No worries, you're normal.
