Hey everyone! I have an 2008 Denali with the 6.2 and I noticed recently the oil pressure seems low to me. It has 118k on it and is at about 17/18 hot at idle but driving I am at 40psi cruising at 80 at 2k. Start up cold it is between 40-60 psi. Replaced o ring on pickup,sender,new oil and filter. No leaks or noise. Any suggestions or ideas?
Oil pressure problems! Am I screwed?

Which filter did you use? I noticed that running Mobil One oil filter cost me a few psi compared to running a K&N.

Sounds exactly like mine;
but everyone assures me its fine. Apparently chevy says operating is between 27-80 psi..sooo <shrug>
That being said, I want to install the high pressure, high flow oil pump. It's 150 bucks, but its a weekend job best I can tell.

Pretty sure I'd shit myself, throw the wallet into the camp fire, cry through a box of tissues, then set my car on fire if I saw 5psi
