martek Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Hi Guy's Test drove a 2004, 33,000mile 350z tonight. The oil pressure was mainly around the 60 number on the oil pressure gauge, when cruising at 4,000rpm it was at about 70 on the pressure gauge. When we got back at tickover it was at about 40 on the gauge. Does this seem normal? Cheers Dave. Quote
Stew Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 It does go up and down with the revs. Doesn't sound too strange (struggling to remember what mine does normally number wise but certainly doesn't sound out of the ordinary. Quote
MattMe Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 That sounds almost identical to mine. At idle it's about 1/4 on the gauge, on the move, but not accelerating hard it's around 1/2 and when going for it I get up to nearly 3/4, but not quite. It seemed very similar when I had 10w/40 and now I have 5w/30... So I'd say 'yes' that seems about right! Quote
jerry3167 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Sounds right to me, Im a new owner with a 04 plate 12K miles, and it does the same, been watching it closely these past few weeks, Next oil change Im putting in the Best oil money can buy, same that was in my CTR.. Jerry Quote
Chris`I Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Sounds normal. Will be higher when cold (oil being thicker, requiring more pressure to move around). Once up to temp, they should all sit in near as damn it the same range Quote
