Oil pressure gauge reading

[Sandeep1994]

Wanted to ask u guys that where does ur oil pressure gauge stays normally when speeding up or when driving steady speed .
i don’t remember what oil pressure use to be when got this new but after my first oil change i stated checking it - it would be 3 lines when speeding up or cold start and 2/5 when steady speed but after my second oil change i noticed a difference - so now it stays around 2/5 to 2/75 lines when reving engine up to speed and 1/75 line during idle and close to 2 lines when steady speed speed . So i saw that oil pressure dropped after second oil change

Used same amount of oil both times 1st time i used mobil 1 full synthetic 0w20 , second time it was liquimoly synthetic

u guys think is it because of different oil brand or some something else . And also is it normal or something wrong

I have not actually watched my oil pressure gauge but will report back with a baseline reading for you tomorrow. I am totally infatuated with the boost gauge. Enchanted no doubt.

Yes, I've noticed it moving around. The oil pressure is not constant but operates under a variable-speed oil pump. Similar to my '21 Silverado. Anyhow, I'd prefer to see the actual PSI, rather than a rising or lowering of a bar graph. I like to monitor the oil pressure constantly, but the way the gauges are setup in the truck you have to trade things off to get what you want, anyhow I'm sure you know what I mean.

As for oil affecting oil pressure -- I suppose that could be the case here, but you're using the same oil viscosity as what the truck should have come with. I'm sure everything is fine, again I'd prefer to see actual PSI, more useful.

Would you mind reporting back on this guys I have the opposite issue I think my dealer put too much oil in and now when I’m driving, it’s sort of is sitting in the middle when it used to be at a lower pressure. I believe when I floor it, it goes up to three out of four bars, what is normal?
