Is this normal oil pressure for these rpms
My engine is the 3.6l LFX v6. Is this normal oil pressure for these rpms? I have been burning some oil and put almost a quart in about 2200 miles into the oil change. What can I do to fix it if isn't. Should I sell it? Please help.

Totally normal as Paul stated. One (1) bar is equal to 14.5038 PSI, you good.

While the pressures appear acceptable, that 232 degree oil temp seems a bit high. Not critical but hotter than normal. I drive my V6 in 120 degree weather and my oil temp has never been above 212 even after an 80 mph freeway commute to work. Were you running it hard prior to that pic? What was the ambient temp?

I'd change that thermostat to a 180 degree one, keep running that with 232 degree's your head gasket is gonna go bye bye.
Sidenote: as for oil, i had that happen once in my Rs original engine, i ran Rislone engine treatment in it, it stopped the issue. |

I don’t see where he ever hit 232 on coolant temp…. Hot oil isn’t going to kill a head gasket it’ll kill other things but the head gaskets aren’t likely.
