Oil pressure problem on SE
heres what I am experiancing when full going wide open my oil pressure starts to drop goes from about 60psi to around 40-45 it does it from about 4k all the way to red line its not sudden its like it takes its time to do it and some times it will be fine I am clueless as to what to do I tryed putting more oil in it thinking that the oil pick up starts runing out of oil but still nothing I really would hate to mess the motor up since its my DD. Any input is greatlly aprreciated.

Never overfill the crankcase. If the drop was due to lack of oil, the low oil light would come on. What weight of oil are you running? It's near the time to go to 20W50 for summer. Smell your oil for fuel contamination. If positive, change it. Any other answers you may not like.
