Car Forum / GMC Cars / June 2007oil pressure gauge questions
the oil pressure gauge on my car(94 buick regal, 10w30) drops below 40 when it comes to a stop and goes back to a little above 40 when put gas. Is this normal? also observe a little oil leak, does it have anything to do with the oil pressure dropping? > the oil pressure gauge on my car(94 buick regal, 10w30) drops below 40 > when it comes to a stop and goes back to a little above 40 when put > gas.

The gauge is behaving normally because of engine oil pump RPM variations, but the oil leak needs fixing, or soon you may have ZERO oil pressure. > ouyang....@gmail.com wrote: > > the oil pressure gauge on my car(94 buick regal, 10w30) drops below 40 [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > variations, but the oil leak needs fixing, or soon you may have ZERO oil > pressure. Thanks. I just DIY the oil change last Saturday. I didn't see oil leak overnight saturday. Drove 60+ miles on sunday and didn't move the car the whole monday. Then observed oil leak tuesday morning. Will check it soon. > the oil pressure gauge on my car(94 buick regal, 10w30) drops below 40 > when it comes to a stop and goes back to a little above 40 when put > gas.

If it drops to 0, then you'd better be keeping a better eye on your oil level - that's why they put the dipstick on the engine. If it simply drops to 30psi or so, that's normal.

It drops above the red zone. it is normal as i know . if you can, tighten all the bolts under the oil pan might help a little bit with oil leakage. > the oil pressure gauge on my car(94 buick regal, 10w30) drops below 40 > when it comes to a stop and goes back to a little above 40 when put > gas.
