The oil thins when hot and the oil pump is driven off the engine so, the lower the engine rpm's, the slower the pump turns.
Oil pressure gauge is wiggle when engine running hot. Could be oil pressure switch defective or the oil pump?
the engine gets hot and while your engine is running your oil is going through your engine lubbing it. by the time the engine gets hot the oil is spread throughout the engine. if you have too much oil in the gauge will act weird because its hooked up to your oil to read its pressure. if it was youroil pump or switch it would do this when the engine was cold to. make sure the oil is at the correct level b4 spending money on a switch or pummp
What causes oil pressure drop when engine has heated up during drive?
The oil gets thinner. It is normal for the oil pressure to drop after the engine has reached full operating temperature. If you have from 30-40 psi pressure when the engine is hot then that is normal.
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.
Oil light flashing 1999 vw beetle?
Have it checked by a mechanic, poor oil pressure is really dangerous for the engine. You might start with checking that you have the right oil level though.
What year Volkswagen engine is the engine number B6 088169?
That would be a 1970 Vw Beetle engine. It had dual oil pressure reliefs and single port heads. Not a bad engine for a baja IMO.
Cadillac low oil pressure stop engine?
Using 5W-30 oil in summer, my Catera's low oil pressure warning and light will come on when the engine is hot. But with 10W-40 oil this condition will not occur. Oil pressure gauge may indicate low pressure, but not enough to trigger the warning or the light.
What is the typical oil pressure of a 100000 mile motor in an l69 305 at idle and what oil should you use Thank you?
The oil pressure will depend on the condition of the engine. If you have 10 lbs at idle when engine is hot with this mileage, you are within specs. I would use 10W-30 oil. oil pressure of 10lbs and up is acceptable at hot idle. i like to use havoline 30wt oil. have never had a problem with it.
Why does the oil light come on when the car gets hot?
You need to have the oil pressure checked. It could be a worn engine or thin oil causing that.
Where is the oil filter on a 1979 Beetle?
On my 79 Fuel Injected Beetle the oil filter is a screen located underneath the engine.
Why does the oil in your car engine get so hot and the oil press drops to 0?
Oil is not only a lubricant but it helps to remove heat from the engine. If you loose oil pressure the engine will not be lubricated properly and will begin to overheat. You have a serious problem and you will destroy the engine if you drive it with low oil pressure. Have this looked at by a professional. Do not start this engine until it has been repaired.
