Where is the oil pressure relief valve on an LS2?
The high oil pressure relief valve is located in the oil pump
What does it mean if your oil pressure gauge is high?
If your oil pressure gauge is high you have to much oil in your engine. Overfilling your engine can result in you blowing out your gaskets.
What is the correct oil reading?
Where it indicates "full" on the oil dipstick. Overfilling will cause too much pressure and possibly rupture oil lines.
Causes for high oil pressure in a Saturn ls2?
A cause for high oil pressure could be related to the type of oil that is being used in the vehicle. Thicker based oils such as 10w40 and higher could cause high oil pressure.
Why does the oil light keep coming on my f150 even if its full?
Defective oil pressure sending unit or the oil pump is weak. Replace the oil pressure sending unit and if the problem persists seek professional help and have an oil pressure test run. Make sure you are not overfilling the crankcase.
Does the coolant level affect the oil pressure?
No, the oil level can affect the the oil pressure if it is too high or low. The coolant level has no connection with the engine oil pressure.
Why would the oil light on a 1997 Nissan quest stay on after oil is added?
Oil pump failing, faulty oil pressure sending unit, and overfilling the engine with oil, which is just as bad as under filling.
Will overfilling oil cause an oil leak?
Possibly. Excess oil increases oil pressure and can put an extra strain on gaskets. This is especially the case when "heavier" oil is used (i.e. 15/40) rather than say 5/30 or 0/30. Consistently overfilling your oil will eventually lead to leaks as the system is designed to operate under certain pressures and by overfilling you are exceeding that.Obviously, older cars or cars that are driven in extreme conditions will be more susceptible. What is generally considered "overfilling?" Anything more than 1/4 of a quart is a good rule to go by.
How many quarts of oil does a 2000 Saturn LS2 V6 need?
A 2000 Saturn LS2 with the V6 3.0L engine requires 5.0quarts of engine oil.
Would overfilling of oil cause your engine to smoke and what do you do?
Yes, overfilling can cause smoking, and you need to drain the extra out.
How much oil does a 11 hp Honda take?
about 1 qt ,avoid overfilling,crank case pressure will send oil int the carb port and make engine smoke
Can the bearings be affected by overfilling the oil?
Yes, overfilling can damage an engine. Too much oil causes the crankshaft to make contact with the oil and form a froth of oil and air. This froth of oil and air is a poor lubricant and will cause bearing wear.
