I have a 97 V6 and it behaves very similar. The one thing I called the
dealer on was the drop in pressure at idle after fully warmed up. The
dealer told me normal pressure at idle when fully warmed up is 39psi. Mine
runs at the top when over 1100 RPM's and always before warm-up.

Subject: Oil presuure in my 97
Hi all,
Have any of you folks noticed that your oil pressure takes a little while
to register on the gauge on cold starts? When I start my 97 V6 up the
gauge wiggles a little but doesn't get up into the good range until about 3
seconds after the truck is running ... The oil pressure needle and the
"check gauges" idiot light are the last things to settle in on the dash
when I startup. Is this just a factor of the electric gauge being lazy? or
might I have a problem? Warm starts it isn't as bad but still not great.
I'm looking for a concensus.
BTW ... the gauge reads from 0-110psi with 40 in the middle (I would expect
55 in the middle) ... anyway ... just to the left and right of the "40" are
the two marks. What might these represent? 20 and 50 respectivley?
Anyone know?
Thanks!
ps. I'm using Mopar oil filters assuming they have anti-drain back valves.
in Digest Mode ... Matt
