Oil pressure on a 2013 Z06
With a z06 has anyone else noticed that when you get above 5000rpm that the oil pressure is also above 90 to 100psi? Is this normal?

Depends on the oil temp. If the oil is hot( around 180F), the oil pressure in my Z06 is 55psi at elevated RPM. If oil is cold , pressure is about 75-80 at low revs.

If the oil is cold, it could hit that pressure at 3k rpms.

Don't watch my LS7's oil pressure while doing 5k RPM, but I do watch it occasionally while cruising. Mine holds a steady 50 psi at 1500 rpm with engine fully warmed.

If this is something that it happening suddenly you may want to get a new oil pressure sending unit. It is an inexpensive part that can give false readings.
