I finally replaced the not-working oil pressure gauge with a new one. And I'm now getting a reading.
Cold idle, between 30-60.
Warm idle, 30
0-30 MPH - 30-60
50 MPH - 100-120
55-60 MPH - over 120
The numbers at 50 and above seem high to me, but I have no frame of reference for this engine. Are these numbers reasonable? If not what could the issue be, sending unit, oil issue, etc? I was told prior to purchasing this thing about 4 weeks ago they had just done an oil/filter change about 500 miles prior (and I know the person who put the 500 miles on it.)
Just want to know if this is reasonable or if I need to do something to avoid damage.
6.5L non-turbo engine.
