oil pressure

[chris955]

Curious to know what oil pressure is normal? I recently had my oil changed and believe there is to much oil in the motor.
Its running at 75 psi on the highway at 75 mph in 6th gear

What makes you think it has too much oil in it?

[chris955]

Well. when I picked it up from the dealership it was unclear

[chris955]

Let me rephrase that. The dodge dealer changed the oil. it is difficult to read depending on which side of the stick you read

[ViperSmith]

mine is all over the place usually, 40-75 seems to be average range

Make sure it is perfectly level, the shallow, long, wide design on the oil pan makes it so the oil level is greatly effected by the level of the car.

You have to check both sides of the dipstick, the low side is the correct level. There is a dramatic difference due to the angle the dipstick enters the oil. I put a scribe mark at the full point on the non-graduated side of the dipstick.

Over full is bad, it causes aeration of the oil, it also reduces the hp.
