I just got done installing a silver bullet turbo and a amsoil bypass filter I changed my oil and went to 5w-40 synthetic.My question is at idle with the engine temp at 180 my manual oil pressure gauge is reading only 11 psi of oil pressure is this ok or should I switch back to 15w-40 Anybody have a boost fooler for the aftermarket turbo that they do not need? I bought the turbo used and no fooler included

What does your oil pressure read at 2K rpm?

Rpainter

engine temp at 180 a 2k rpm I am at 40 psi

annabelle

Mine is about 38 at idle.

Rpainter

Is that witha manual gauge or the dash thing?

XLR8R

40 psi seems too low.

Rpainter

now remember I am only running 5w synthetic I was told pressure would fall some I just did not think down to 11 at idle with 15w40 oil I was at 20 psi at idle
