The 01 motor in the 98 is losing oil pressure above 4k RPMs, not completely but as the revs climb to 6k is almost down to nothing. This is under free rev or in gear. If I leave the car in gear and let off the oil pressure goes crazy, up and down and up and down as the revs decrease. Now I have concluded that its not the gauge because as the revs go up and down the valvetrain noise gets louder and quieter.
I ran full synthetic in it when I first put the motor in, then I went down to synthetic blend and now I am at pure oil and this is when the problem surfaced. I have not tried switching back to the synthetic yet.
Total miles on motor is 36k, unless the junkyard was lying about mileage.
Thoughts, concerns comments?
Thanks
