I got a 96 K3500 4x4 x-cab drw.
what is normal oil pressure?
I just changed the oil & before I did I would have
about 40 pds & now it starts around 40 & in 30 minutes
its between 20-40.
is this normal??

Thanks

the oil pressure seems to be on par. i have a 94 crewcab 2wd drw with 289,000 miles on the odo. with fresh oil and a little lucas, cold starts will be at about 35-40 psi. it will stay there during travel, and will drop to around 20 psi at a warm idle. i have been told by a reliable source that this is perfectly acceptable for this engine
