Re: 1992 camaro z28 305 low oil pressure

oil pressure gauge senders are notoriously inaccurate. Mine will read different values on different days. Been doin g it for years. I've been through 3 or 4 of them by now, all read differently, and they've all failed at some point except for the one in the car.

If the engine starts making strange noises, then worry about it.

Re: 1992 camaro z28 305 low oil pressure

Like the aforementioned post, I wouldn't worry about it. Do watch out for the oil light though, if that comes on then you do have a problem. Most cars don't even have an oil pressure gauge, and only have the warning light. If you're really concerned with it you could get an aftermarket gauge that reads directly off hydraulic pressure versus a sensor. Then you can double check it whenever your in dash gauge shows low pressure.
