🔧 Technical 04 Tahoe - Lower Oil Pressure

[Bub]

Amazon oil is in SHO and they love it and gave me OK for 8k miles next time..

That's a turrrbboo engine that sees a whole hell of alot of fuel dilution and abuse.

I heard you

Did you dump 15/40 in there yet?

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I'd pour oil all over her!

 

[daturbosix]

From the looks of it, I'd oil her engine, if ya naymsain. ?

 

[Bub]

Gosh! I'd love to make consensual sex with that her if she was up for it and we were in a committed relationship. Am I right boys?!

You have worn cam bearings causing your low oil pressure.

The new oil brings your pressure back up. As the oil gets old, viscosity drops and so does your oil pressure. I don’t care what those oil analysis tell you.

Run a PF63 oil filter if you aren’t and run a heavier oil in it. It’s a bandaid fix but should run forever like this. If you don’t like that it’s time for new cam bearings. If you go through all that trouble, might as well put a long block in it.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Any bearings being worn will contribute.

I am amazed this is at almost 6 pages and still going

Why aren't the OA's picking up high wear metal counts?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

First off, every ls cam bearings are worn, second NAH.

[Mr_Roboto]

go with 5w40 diesel T6... arent the lsx 5w30 and maybe 10-30 in hot weather.... iirc the chart in the manuals says that

it's what we run in the TR, thin enough for fast prime, bit of thick for when it's hot

T6 makes anything better.

I’ve been a GM dealer tech for 20 years and seen this exact same scenario with this type of oil pressure concern at least 200 times. But hey, what do I know. Believe whatever you want to believe

he probably needs a new engine.
