sonny628 Member 24 Member For: 14y 9m 8d Posted 08/03/15 07:55 AM Share Posted 08/03/15 07:55 AM Hi guys, I have recently put a built motor that I bought off a forum member a while ago into my 05 xr6t, everything seems fine with it aside from the oil pressure once it starts heating up, it is still running as a stock motor with the stock tune and injectors ect. At a cold start I will see 60psi and it will slowly make its way down to around 20psi and sometimes a little lower as the temp gauge reads about halfway between a quarter and half. I'm using the same oil as I used before "nulon 10w40 fully synthetic" but I never used my oil pressure gauge then. The question that I have is, 1. Is this a normal oil pressure for an xr6t 2. being the fact that this motor has a forged bottom end, billet oil pump gears ect, do I need to run a higher viscosity oil?

FG though.Sounds fine to me.....nothing to worry about but if you are, I noticed a 'slightly' higher reading when running Castrol Edge Edited 08/03/15 09:05 AM by BenDoCo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90210-oil-pressure/#findComment-1533818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
