    Chevy LS engine oil pickup O ring replacement on 4x4 trucks

    I have a 2012 LS3 in a Corvette GS that from new, cold oil pressure is about 45 and hot idle oil pressure drops to about 23 psi at hot idle. This is the non-dry sump set up. Been like this since new, probably normal as the hot idle oil pressure is with the RPM’s around 550 in drive. While...

    How far would you drive on a gamble for a used car?

    I say a 1 in 5 chance it will be worth buying. I would drive maybe 2 hours/100 miles to get there.

    New Amsoil SS 0w16

    2 qt bottles would be neat in the US. Or maybe 2.5 qt bottles.

    HPL keeps the colors the same throughout the lineup.

    New Amsoil SS 0w16

    Should have picked a different color label than green, similar to the 0w-20 color. I guess a different color cap (black) helps?

    LSjr Tests VOA of 20 yr old Valvoline & 40 yr old Mobil 1 Oil. HPL tests Anti-Foam in Gear Oil.

    The 97 Ram is a true gauge, I have replaced the sending unit with no change, never drops to a unsafe pressure but does fluctuate without any other reason I can think of except maybe the oil is getting airated. Oil is at the correct level, halfway between the full and add lines on the dipstick...

    LSjr Tests VOA of 20 yr old Valvoline & 40 yr old Mobil 1 Oil. HPL tests Anti-Foam in Gear Oil.

    I am wondering if that is why I intermittently have fluctuating oil pressure on my 1997 Dodge Ram 5.9 magnum; maybe my oil from my 10+ year old stash (10w-30 Pennzoil Platinum) lost its’ anti-foaming ability and it is getting foamy and the oil pump is sucking in foamy oil? I might try fresh oil...
