Still getting high oil pressure!!
Besides my right foot, what's causing the oil pressure to go as high as 69 PSI? I can't remember it being so high before insalling the RKS headers.
HELLLLLPPPPPPPPP!! :eek:

69 is high, but shouldn't be a problem. I assume that's at fairly high revs, not idle?
Normal oil temp for me on the highway at 80+mph is around 212, but it takes a while to get there. Same for spunky driving in the twisties.

:iagree: What oil/filter are you using? Could make a difference, or you might have a bad sensor. just keep an eye on it for awhile. :smash: :rolleyes:

Seen my pressure in the low 50's this winter. Ususal averages 35-45. Oil temp has gotten as high as 235 with spirited driving in the moutains (hard acceleration from 2nd to 3rd)
Typically oil temp stays between 200-212.

Alex did you check the oil like I told you over lunch, remember Andy drained some oil and didn't replace it that I can recall. Let me know what happens, my pressure goes up anytime I have low oil. :cheers:

What oil viscosity are you running... I switched back to 10w-30 and my pressure went up especially in the colder weather.
