JSkains Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Could a oil pressure switch stuck high, cause the ECM to switch the oil pump to low pressure? I am reading consistently 96 lbs oil pressure on vehicle display, but valve train sounds like pressure is low. I know Dodge has a variable oil pump, but how low could the oil pressure be adjusted? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Which engine, how many miles. Oil pressure follows rpms usually, so that’s the variable part AFAIK. Could be some kind of electrical throttling valve, but I doubt it. The v6 runs pretty high for oil pressure normally, so 96 psi isn’t terrible. Mechanics can hook up an oil pressure gauge and confirm that number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
