Oil presurre fluctates. Have you ever had a real oil pressure gauge? The factory ones on today's cars don't count.

I have driven several cars with real gauges. The porscha I drove on a regular basis had two guages. The oil pressure and a Druck press. One guage would go up one would go down. At idle the oil pressure guage will drop down and the Druck will go up. Under hard acceleration the two would switch.

Oil pressure dropping is not uncommon and occurs on every car out there. At idle the need for oil is less and the pressure needed to supply the oil is there.

But if the pressure really drops to a dangerous level like almost none then you have an issue.

 

17..I wasn;t calling you out I was informing my peeps that people like yourself untrained work for jiffy lube

 

yeah, i try to read as much as possible about car (forums, magazines etc.) but you don't really learn until you try it yourself. thanks for the help everyone.

 

this is true but reading the right books will help you gain the knowledge so you can apply it....
