Generally for every 1000 RPM you should have 10 PSI oil pressure. Before I would get alarmed, I would replace the oil switch for you gauge as these can give you a false low reading when they are old.

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.

What oil pressure should your 960 mustang skid steer with an Isuzu 4jb1 engine have at a warm idle?

I have tried to find the answer also but no luck. Our 960 oil pressure light comes on any time the engine is warm and the engine is idling. Someone told me to adjust the pressure relief valve, another said that possibly the wrong oil flter is being used, and of course someone said to change the oil pressure sending unit. So far I have not tried any of the suggestions. rbdrost@att.net
