 Subject: V6 Oil Pressure Fix??
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 92 Dak with a V6 and lately if everyone is familiar with the oil pressure guage right after it has warmed up it has a tendancy to stay right on the minimum oil pressure and about half the time it drops half-way to the minimum reading and out of the "acceptable range." It also has very little movement while driving no matter the revs. I'm not very wise automotively and thought a new oil pump would be a fix. But after talking to the local shop I patronize I've been told that it won't do anything and what I really need to do is use thicker oil(10W40 winter, 20W50 Summer) or replace the rods and mains I believe. Is this accurate?
Note: Right now as far as I know the oil pump is stock, I have a Melling High-flow pump and the truck has 121K miles.
