Just put my blackbear tuned pcm in--driving around at WOT my oil pressure is high as in off the gauge high. Should i be worried here or is this normal, didnt notice it before tune....
thanks

How long is it staying off the gauge? What is it idling at

it idles normal, just at WOT its over past 80? i think--i dont think its something i should be worried about but didnt want to hurt something

I'd say you should talk to justin from blackbear....

I have a question about normal pressure. At idle my oil pressure is right about 40. Under normal driving it is at 60. Is this a normal level?

 

[HitandRunDriver]

Yeah, thats what I'm around when just cruising

What weight oil you using? The oil filters on these things have no internal bypass. Risk collapsing the filter media on cheaper filters.

Just use a mobile one filter... I love the mobi one, it has the bipass too...
