Just a quick ? On my 08 Ram The oil preasure gauge stays the same whether its cold,warmed up , or wide open On our Kia Sorento the gauge moves with the RPM;s Is it correct or is my gauge sensor inop??

Thanks Eric

 

dont know what engine you have but my 5.9 on my 2002 doesnt move one bit, same as yours. and i know in my old camaro it would fluctuate all over the place...

 

As long as it shows pressure it's fine. If the needle drops get it checked out asap. I believe all our trucks do the same thing.

 

Hell, if the needle drops, STOP IMMEDIATELY, then get it checked out immediately. Tow it if you have too.

 

I have on 06 with the Hemi, and my gauge fluctuates with rpms. It’s usually between half and 3/4, depending on how much I hit the gas. At idle, sometimes it will go to a little under half.

 

These gauges will fluctuate a bit but if they don't it's no big deal... Most of the gauges on new vehicles only have three or four preset positions. Each position corresponding to a certain range in psi. so really if it's staying at one position at the gauge the oil pressure will be fluctuating in the engine the way you would think it should.

This is because america is full of retards that would see the gauge moving up and down and freak out and call wondering wtf is wrong with their car. That's why they call them idiot lights and the like.

 

Thanks. I thought what I said was self explanatory. DON'T DRIVE WITH NO OIL PRESSURE!!
