The cause is most likely the main bearings being worn, and/or oil pump being worn out. It usually depends on the year and how many miles are on the car. My best solution would be to go to a shop and get the specifications on how much oil pressure is what at a specified rpm.

What is max boost pressure of 7.3 powerstroke diesel?

You are going to want to see about 12psi at max boost. If you have exhaust leaks from the y-pipes that can cause it to be lower and may not even notice unless you are monitoring the MGP. Hope this helps


Is the water pressure regulator valve bad if there is no pressure change when you turn the bolt counter clockwise?

I'm assuming you are talking about a pressure regulator on a boiler, the bolt on top is just a locking/ jam nut. The regulator comes set at the factory for 12psi. The shaft threw the center has two notches and can be turned with a large flat screw driver, however useually if they are not bran new they wont turn and tere is rarely a need to.


Recommended pressure in a home radiant heat system?

My understanding is that it is 12psi. My system appears to vary above and below that depending on pump activity, and I'm not really sure why. However I did understand from my furnace guys that 12 is the number you want. I'm dealing with a propane boiler with subfloor network.


What is causing the oil light on a 98 Dodge grand caravan to blink?

Most likely the oil pressure switch is bad. this answer was from another person. Lets ask some questions, 1 what is the engine size, 2 how many miles? 3what are the simptoms, 4 what is your oil pressure at idle fully warmed up with a manual guage. I had oil light problems on 3 different caravans which turned out to be the same problem, I was experiencing the oil light and chime at an idle on a fully warmed engine, the oil pressure was within specs it had 12PSI factory states 5PSI is normal. So don't panic, I traced the problem to a bad spot in the wire harness under the battery tray and repaired as needed. Try this first, do NOT condeme the oil screen and bearings before doing this step.....

What is the difference between an open and closed system in hydronic heating?

Closed system implies that the system is under some pressure and the fluid is not exposed to the ambient air. Home systems are usually set at 12psi. An open system is exposed to the air with a holding or storage tank at the highest point. An open system needs to be built with parts and materials that will not corode ie; copper, brass, pex pipe, etc. ( do not use cast iron pumps, steel tanks or fittings) lc
