In your camaro Z28 the Oil pressure drops after it warms up and knocks at 2500 RPMs?

If your oil pressure drops when warm, either your oil pump is shot, the screen on your oil pump pickup tube is clogging up, or your oil is about 30,000 miles overdue changing. The knocking you hear is your engine shredding itself internally due to overheated parts grinding against each other due to lack of lubrication.

Why your car will not build up pressure when it warms up?
Which pressure. - More info gets a better answer.
What causes a tennis ball to bounce higher as it warms up?
internal pressure increase
Can a bad oil filter make you loose pressure as engine warms up?
No, warn engine parts will cause loss of oil pressure as the engine warms up, due to expansion betweeen moving parts. Hot oil is thinner.
Why does the oil pressure in a 90 Chevy Beretta drop to 0 when the engine warms up?
it may be the oil pressure sender located on the engine
After the truck warms to operating temperature the oil pressure drops dramatically. Is it time to change the oil pump and If so how do you replace the oil pump in a 1989 Chevy 3500 ck?
You may have a faulty oil pressure sending unit. remove the sensor and hook a pressure gauge up to it and get the gauge in a position the you can see it while driving. Get it up on the thruway and see if it is in spec. If you don't address this asap, there is potential to wipe out the motor.
What should your Oil pressure be on your 5.7 93 sub?
The exact number isn't as important as how much the pressure gauge fluctuates. Watch the gauge when the engine is first started. It should go up somewhere near the middle. That's the point at which the pressure bypass engages. Then watch the oil pressure after the engine warms up. If the oil pressure drops significantly AT AN IDLE when the engine is warm, you have worn main and/or rod bearings... but WORN doesn't mean WORN OUT. If the engine is still able to maintain oil pressure, even though it drops a little when warm, you can raise the oil pressure by changing to a heavier (thicker) grade oil. If you've been using 5W15, change to 10W30 or even 15W40. You'll be surprised at how much of a difference that can make.
Have a 94 camaro z28 will start and run until it warms up then it will die but will start back up again in just a few minutes any suggestions the mechanic can't find anything wrong with it?
its your opti-spark / the distributor. or it could be in you fuel pressure regulator, ive had the same problem in my 96 Z-28
2000 Jeep Cherokee with 93K has high oil pressure reading Starts at 80psi and after driving a little goes down to 60 Any recommendations?
Nothing is wrong. Drive it. It could be the oil pressure sensor starting to go bad- mine did the same thing This is normal. Oil is thicker when it is cold. As it warms up, it becomes more fluid and the oil pressure tends to drop. If it oil pressure drops when you come to a stop and increases as you accelerate, everything should be ok.
98 gmc Yukon with 120000 miles i have good oil pressure when the engine is cold but when it warms up it drops to 0 at idle speed and when i get goin it will go to 20 what is the problem?
Could be a bad oil pressure sending unit Try a manual gauge to determine actual oil pressure Could be excessive engine wear (bearings) Could be a weak oil pump Try a heavier viscosity oil i.e. 20W-50
What should the oil pressure be warm at idol you have a 1985 woody when you start it cold goes up to about 55 psi as it warms it drops clear down to about 10 psi?
