ok i posted before about my 98 dodge venge but theres something im not sure about on the engine like my oil pressure gauge on my dash, once the car is started and running shouldnt that show one constand measurement instead of the needle going up and down with the rpms? i cant figure out if its suppost to go wit the rpms or if its a steady pressure? can anyone help?

 

it should be one measurement, u should check, or even change ur oil, is it a 2.0 or 2.5, the 2.0 takes 4 qurates of oil, the 2.5 takes 5 quarts of oil

 

It's normal for slight needle movement with RPM's as the pump is run harder with higher revs ...

 

how bad does the needle move?

 

i have the 2.5 v6 but ok u know how the gauge has 4 sections when im at idle it goes down to one quarter then as im driving the faster i go the higher the needle goes and ive gotten it to about 3 quarter i didnt think that was normal
also would that effect horsepower at all?

 

the 3 qurtar is not normal ill look in to that for u

 

That could be normal what viscosity oil are you running ???

 

just regular oil nothing special like synthetic altho i did put a bottle of lucas in my engine but its done that long before

 

I'd say it's normal ... mine fluctuates about the same from idle to full throttle ...

 

well i know on older cars its suppost to stay one steady pressure so i wasnt sure cuz like i said before that i know alot about cars but older cars when it comes to all this computer **** i have to ask to be sure........
