what is sky high for oil? whats the PSI?

 

It smells like its running rich, and as for the oil pressure on idle it is normally 40 psi but now its almost off the normal range.

 

Pull your dipstick whats the oil look like? Milky? If not thats good!! Maybe all that jumping on the tailgate churned your oil and now its thicker LOL.

 

at idle your oil pressure should be around 35-40 psi and in my truck running down the road it gets as high as 80 psi or somewhere in the neighborhood. That's not a bad thing. Oil pressure is good. It means better lubrication. As far as running rich, are you throwing a check engine light?

 

To much oil psi you start blowing seals. Anything over 80-85 is excessive. maybe you have a piece of debris causing a blockage in a journal or what not.

 

the oil looks fine, and there is no CEL on. Im going to take it to a shop and have it looked at cus right now i have to bum a ride to the college which sucks.

 

sorry to not be of much assistance. Let us know when you figure out what the problem is for future reference.

 

it could just be smokeing because of all the times trying to start it.
It might have been geting fuel but no spark. Mine did the same thing and then went away.as far as oil pressure im lost on that mine never gose over 50psi

 

i figured out i think my oil pressure is more in the range of 60 psi or so going down the road and 35-40 at idle

 

got it back from the shop today and it runs great. All the mechanic did was reset the computer, and put new battery terminals on it (i knew they were bad just never got around to changing them) all for $25. As for the oil pressure he said it was fine, and i drove it for an hour today and could not get the oil pressure to get as high as it did so i have no idea.
