As the title says, my gauge has had a mind of its own for 4 years now. For 1 whole year it was pegged at 80 and then dropped to about 40 and then 80 under load. Now for the past few weeks it seemed to be reading normal, and now when it is warm it just says zero across all rpms.
Now I have not hooked a mechanical gauge up to it to verify pressure.
Now for my question about what this motor would sound like if it REALLY had zero oil pressure because this thing run super quiet no tapping, or knocking, the only sound i hear is the faint click of the injectors pulsing.
More info I just moved from florida to wyoming and it is about 15 out in the morning here already this time of the year so i switched to regular castrol gtx 5-30 from running 10-30 in miami.
Edit:
I am going to get a mechanical gauge this week to verify it but im really not losing sleep over this the cap is always saturated and I can hear no strange sounds.
