Low oil pressure at idle
By Travis Miller - 07/31/2003 8:29:50 AM; IP 205.188.209.108
Drop the oil pan and install a high volume oil pump. It will increase the oil pressure at low rpms by putting more volume of oil thru the system. I've done it and it works.

Another thing that can cause low oil pressure at idle is using a racing type high performance oil filter on an old engine. Done that also. When I went back to a Motorcraft regular oil filter, the pressure came back up.

This thread, so far...
