I have a 1999 dodge dakota sport with a 5.2 (318) 120,000 miles on it with flow master, K& N on it and well heres the story...(rear wheel drive only)...... the oil pressure gauge when i start my truck goes from 0 to about 38..... well as soon as the truck warms up it will drop down to about 13-15 when i sit still as i give it gas it will rise again back up to 38-40......... but at any idle sits really low around15... i dont recall it ever doing this... nd for it to do it when it warms up...... is this somehting to stress about???? or common????? is it the sender????... i just dont want the engine to fry itself..... any advice would be great THXS!

 

what kinda oil do you use? I would kick it up to a lil thicker oil. I had to do that to mine.

 

Try using the Lucas Oil Stabilizer that stuff works great. I think it costs around $5. It might be more, but you don't have to use the whole bottle.

i put in syntehic 5w-30 into it.... its definatley a thinner oil but ive had this oil in there for about 3 weeks now and the oil gauge is now acting up.... hhhhmmmm..... a thicker oil does sound better.....

 

ya, I run 10w30 synthetic with some lucas in it.

 

thank you VERY much....
