CAMARO6 - View Single Post - What is your hot idle oil pressure in your ZL1 (LT4)?

5W-30 oil

Mine seems to vary a bit based on the temperature (obvious). If I do a pull and/or am driving the car spiritedly, then look at pressure at idle directly after, I seem to be more in the 25-27 PSI range. If the car is up to operating temp, but is just sitting at idle, it seems to be in the 29-30 PSI range.

I’ve attached some pictures under multiple conditions with the temperature visible; do I have any reason to be concerned? My powertrain warranty goes out in a week, so if I do have any cause for concern I’d like to have it figured out right now 😆
