Best Answer

Coolant pressure begins to rise above 0psi as coolant temp increases. The pressure cap on the radiator or elsewhere will contain this rising pressure until it reaches the preset spec. written on the cap. Then a relief valve opens, and coolant is vented to the overflow or the ground to maintain pressure. Usually about 15psi.

What is the ideal oil pressure reading for a Buick LaSabre with a V6 engine?

There is no ideal pressure. Of course the oil pressure will be higher when the engine is cold. After it is running and at full operating temp, the pressure should read at least 10 lbs while idling. The pressure will be directly related to how many miles are on the engine and the amount of wear. A new engine will have around 40 lbs when hot and running at 2,000 rpms, and around 30 lbs at idle.
