Hi,
I am running a 330 HP 350 from GM. I am using an oil filter relocation kit with single filter and an oil cooler in front of the radiator. After I broke in the motor with petroleum 5/30 oil I switched to Mobil 1 5/30 oil. I also installed a new Auto-meter oil pressure gauge & the pressure switch in the kit and noticed that cold start the oil pressure is 50 PSI. Once fully up to operating temp at idle I see 12.5 on the gauge @750 RPM and 40 PSI when cruising @1500+ RPM. The motor is new with now about 3,000 mile on it.
Is this normal?
Thanks,
Rusty
