Over the weekend i gave my XJ an oil change, like i have in the past and for some reason i have noticed a change with my oil pressure.
I have always used Castrol 10w-30 oil and did so this time also, the only different component was the oil filter. In the past i have used Purolator brand filters while this time i used a Napa branded filter.
What i am experiencing is a few odd things that caught my attention as being a bit different , they may be normal but i want your opinions.
The first thing is there is a few second lag after the engine starts until my oil pressure needle responds. The second thing is my oil pressure after cold start is really high, almost at the top, i would say 75PSI and at highway speeds its between 40-70psi. At warm idle it plays between 20-30PSI.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Pete
