The engine oil pressure inside the engine = 35psi - (oil cooler & lines pressure drop) - (oil filter pressure drop) If my engine is "normal" it seems like your oil pump needs an extra 10-15 psi to push the oil through your oil cooler and filter @ 180F With that in mind, if your actual engine oil pressure is 10 psi due to a failing galley gasket, your gauge might show 20-25 PSI, which hides the problem and may result in a spun bearing / new engine... and no one wants that! |
