Oil pressure jump??

matt f · Apr 22, 2019

Haven't seen anyone post about this yet, but just noticed today that when boost pressure gets up around 4 psi or higher, the engine oil pressure jumps to the 50s and 60s instantly. i assume its meant to do that due to some fancy oil pump these engines have?? just want to make sure this is normal. truck is a 2019 with 400 miles BTW. thanks, Matt.

Matt it is interesting to watch. At lower boost I run in the mid 20s, and the there is a pretty good jump like you are talking about. The move isn’t linear, it is a jump and also a drop. The info the 2019s provide is entertaining and informative.

It's normal, mine does the same thing. I've configured my 2 center gauges to be vac/boost on the left and oil pressure on the right. The gauges are remarkably responsive.

variable pressure oil pump that is computer controlled. i think its kind of screwy, but yeah, working as designed.

Anybody know where oil pressure reading is coming from? Oil pump? Somewhere on the block?

Right near the oil filter. With any design forthought it should be just before the intake to the filter.
