SBC low oil pressure


Recommended Posts

For some reason my truck seems to have lost oil pressure. It usually runs about 60psi at speed, and 40-45 @ idle.

 

I made a last minute trip to advance tonight and had perfect oil pressure when I left the house, but on the way home while sitting at a traffic light the guage read 5psi. :roll:

 

I pulled in to the fist parking lot and checked the oil (710) :D level. and was only down 1/2 qt. :? I looked under the truck and didn`t see any oil leaks.

 

I`m gonna put a mechanical guage on it tommorrow to see what is really up.

When was the last time you changed the oil and filter?

 

My truck had similar trouble, it ended up just being that the oil filter had gotten too dirty.
