Thats what you get for using a sucky synthetic.

 

did you ever get your oil pressure back up or is it still lo? mine is kinda doing the same thing but it's pointing at a leak somewere. At start up my car oil pressure is fine, but when the engine is warming up the oil pressre goes down. at start up i have around 60 but when warm it does not even get close to hit 30 psi unless under a load. They only thing i did when i swaped the motor was take off the omp system. My engine is clean and I have no wet spots under it, i don't blow smoke when accelerating, my intercooler pipes don't have exessive oil in them. Any ideas? I'm gonna try to swap oil senors from the old engine, but this senser seems to be fine. Somthing with the thermowax?

Its much better than it was, but it is still lower then I would like. I've got a pedistal adaptor coming so that i can use both my stock sensor and an aftermarket gauge. That will let me see exactly how off my sensor is. I'm going to swap out the oil later on and go 50 weight and see what that does, but im going to wait a little while because I just changed the other oil and OIL IS REALLY DAMNED EXPENSIVE RIGHT NOW!!!!
