1badss Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Just changed my oil over to Mobile 1 (only thing I ever use after the first 3K). I never paid attention before but I noticed while under hard acceleration the oil pressure guage was reading 60 lbs. After I backed off, it went down to 45 lbs where it normally stays. I tried the acceleration test again and as the rpm's went up, the oil pressure went up till it reached 60 lbs. Prior to this I owned a S10 Xtreeme 4.3L V6 and manual transmission running Mobile 1 but the oil pressure never rose above 45 lbs. Anyone else seeing the same thing?
