    Re: New Rebuild, no OIL psi!

    found this in the Technical Database:
    60 psi @ 1850 rpm
    is what its supposed to be at. Just like I thought.

      I'm not sure if it's bad, but I usually have 30psi when I'm idling. My first motor was that way and the remanufactored one I have is that way also. It usually has 50-60psi under load. It will usually have 60psi no matter what for the first 100 miles after an oil change
      This is quite common for the 3.8 for some reason.
      A lot of us have the same pressure.
      It has yet to pose a problem for anyone, as long as it doesn't just dip off the chart.
