Oil pump shim

Should only get down to 32 or so under high water temp 215+ and 240F on oil. It it was only getting around 30-32 in normal driving ...


YOU HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH YOUR ENGINE!!!--- RAISING THE OIL PRESSURE IS MASKING YOUR PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T STICK BAND-AIDS ON ACTUAL PROBLEMS!!!

That or the oil pressure sensor is bad.

I was thinking the same thing. I rarely pull heavy (40k+), but when I do, I monitor my oil temp/pressure when climbing the one big hill I have to deal with. As my coolant temp bounces off of 210 with every cycle of the fan, my oil hovers around 233 temp and 33 psi. That is at 1700 rpms and 20 psi or so of boost. (Stock pump no dimes)

Slowpoke, I agree with Rawze. I think you have other problems.
