x2 but I have also been hearing alot of talk about the ethanol in the gas causing early engine failures. Anyone else hearing that or is that one of those myth buster type deals?

i was kinda reading up on it. i noticed today that the pumps used to say; "may contain up to 10% ethanol"
now they say " contains 10% ethanol"

im sure it cant be great or they wouldnt make flexfuel cars differantly

Back to the oil pressure thing. Your pressure is normal.

Hey...thanks everyone for the feedback on the Oil pressure reading on these LT1's. Sounds like the readings can be all over the place...depending on maintenance, Dino vrs Synthetic, and of course viscosity. As long as the pressure reading is greater than 0...I'm doing good!
