OIL PRESSURE GUAGE
Hi all...when I first start my car ....I see the needle on the Pressure Guage is towards the high mark... I can understand that as the fluids are cold ........I will usually wait until the engine temp guage starts to move..
but it takes the Oil Pressure Guage a lot more time, to be within its range when I put my foot on the gas...It can take up to 10 minutes of driving slow until it's at the range where it is needs to be
Thinking that by driving slow and not causing a lot of oil pressure..the oil will heat up and guage read normal...
Is there any problem driving until that guage is in it's proper range..,,Is that a normal time frame for the oil and guage
Appreciate the thoughts,,,J
