2012 Camaro SS oil pressure reading 70 psi !
What the heck? I haven't noticed that before?! All of a sudden I get in start it up and reading a whopping 70 psi! Low engine knock not bad tho! What's going on? I need to find out before I end up walking to work!!!

Low engine knock is not good,could be main bearings.
70 psi is about normal for a cold start. How many miles on your engine? |
70 psi is waaaay high. That reading pegs the needle, so your actual oil pressure might be higher than that.
For comparison, my 2012 SS, with only 17k miles, is a hair over 50 psi at cold start idle. After the engine warms up, it's right at 50 psi on the highway, 30 at idle. Lower engine noise, with a pegged oil pressure gauge, looks like you may have a spun rod or main bearing. Question for you though. You say the car is an SS, which would have a 6.2 liter V8. Your profile says the engine is a 3.8 liter, but the V6 model has the 3.6 liter not 3.8. So what exactly do you have? I moved your thread to the 5th gen section. |
