Something I just don't understand is why the vettes seem to run lower pressure than the Fbodys. My vette will idle at 25 and run about 40-45 highway speeds hot, My 98 Z28 would idle hot at 40 and 50 highway speeds and my 2000 trans am idles at 45 hot and 60 highway speeds. Anybody have an idea why this is? Seems like my oil pressure is normal in my vette from what I have seen on this thread

I think it might be the difference in the guages. All else is the same except for the oil pan. Do you use the same viscosity in all?
