Oil pressure is higher after oil change

filip00

Hope nobody will mind if I add some more questions to this thread....
I'm planning an oil cooler installation, as well as adding a pressure gauge just to make sure I have my oil hoses in check. I was thinking of a mishimoto oil cooler and sandwich plate which should have a pressure sensor plugin hole. If I use this, do I get any realistic reading of the engine pressure or is it meaningless because it's all pre-oil cooler?

Thanks for the info.

Meaningless? No not at all. Just be aware that your pressure going back into the engine will be some amount lower than what you’re reading. The pressure drop really isn’t THAT large through the cooler and filter (at least from what I’ve researched), but just be aware of it.

Stay away from the miSHITmoto kit. You have been warned.

Tee off the stock engine oil pressure sensor. It's the best way.

If you want to lose a motor. Go ahead and install the Misashitymoto kit. You wouldn't be the first one to lose a motor. Use either Z1 or FI oil cooler kits. These are proven.

And tee of the stock engine pressure port like Jar said.

That's the most ignorant chit I've read since the Articles of Confederation. Redondo and I both run the MishiTmoto therm plate. Seal all the threads properly and you won't have an issue.

I prefer to use a thermostatic plate from a company that doesn't have a history of failed o-rings dumping engine oil while driving down the road. But that's just me

Adding some info to this unsure if significant or not but

I noticed higher oil pressures after an oil change as well as the titan oil filter


I use 10w30 - 10w40 on my engine. Have been for 3 years.

Upon ownership I did the Gallery which was blown. Replaced with superceeded Nissan gasket.

30k miles later I did an oil change and switched from Fram Titan filter to OEM Nissan Titan filter and triggered a P0011 after 20 miles.

Erratic needle jumps between 10-20 psi in conjunction with Bank 1 VTC erratic angle reading.

This erraticness stops once p0011 is triggered. Now I can delete this code and oil pressures bounce in an electronically controlled pattern. This stops once code is triggered which I believe is when the VTC solenoids enter fault mode and stop opening keeping pressures stable however when they are trying to function I get erratic pressures but no loses which In my head could mean that the gallery might have busted again possibly due to higher pressures.

I can see 120-130psi on cold. I can see 100+ at operating temps after 3k but drop and pick up between 80-100psi. All of this started with a switch from Fram to OEM. Not saying it was the filter but found it interesting.
