Hi,
Does anyone know why the oil gauge readings on the GM/Olds engines fluctuate with engine speed (i.e., lower pressure at lower RPM and vice versa)? I have seen this occur with other engines but also note that the reading on my 2006 Dodge Truck NEVER fluctuates.
I don't believe this is just an oil pressure sender unit issue. It would seem that it would be the way the engine is designed with Chrysler etc using a system that just relieves excess pressure (to get the consistent reading) with GM using a design that just pumps the oil directly to the engine based on engine speed.
Does anyone have any information on this issue?
Thanks!
Keith Lee
