No OIl Pressue (?)
Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2008 10:53 am
When first start my GTV6 in the morning the oil pressure gage indicates about 55 PSI. But after some typical city driving, by the time the engine temperatures reaches 175°, the oil pressure drops to zero and stays there regardless of the engine load. Other than that engine appears to be fine. (No abnormal engine temperature and no burning of oil). Is it possible for the oil pump to stop working as the engine temperature increases?
I’ve heard the oil pressure measurement on the GTV6 can be incorrect. Is there a way to determine whether this is an electrical or mechanical problem? Is there a port on the block I can connect a mechanical gage to check the oil pressure?
