Happy Friday,
This is a hot, humid day in Tennessee (90 degrees F) and whilst driving home
for lunch, noticed the oil pressure gauge was showing very low pressure –
about up to the first mark (20 pounds?).
This is an 87 XJ-6 VdP Fed with 91,000 miles, and in good running shape.
I noticed the temp gauge was running at about 90 degrees C, just the start
of the green. It never goes higher than this. (New radiator and all hoses
and all sensors in February.)
Air Conditioning was cranked full tilt boogey.
Got home, ate, checked oil after almost an hour’s wait. It was just shy of
the crosshatch pattern, added a quart of 20-50 High Mileage Pennsoil
(complete oil & filter change with this stuff about 500 miles ago).
On the way back to the office, same conditions, same reading on the oil
pressure gauge. No change.
I plan on driving a fair bit this weekend (four hour drive tonight) should I
have any concerns about the oil pressure?
Thanks
Joe
