In reply to Desmond curry. I don't know, that's really strange for two oil pumps to seize. Have the oil and oil filter been changed regularly on that vehicle? I'm wondering if there could be contaminants or debris in the oil system that are causing the pumps to lock up.

Fiesta 1.4 tdci 2013 oil pump sized & stopped pump in I replaced the oil pump with new oil pump. Car did 40 miles and the same problem happened. I’ve checked all oil ways for problems but all clear . Could a faulty oil filter housing relief value cause pressure on the pump to cause the damage. Any help would be great

In reply to S. Luke. My 2003 Sierra is high also. Stays at 90. Truck runs fine otherwise.

In reply to Jake. Most oil pumps are driven off of the crankshaft. When the engine slows down, your oil pressure will drop. What you've described sounds pretty normal to me. As long as you have more than 10 psi at idle you're probably good.

When I drive my oil pressure stays at high, but when I stop at a light it goes back to normal? Never seen this before? Any advise

2006 GMC Sierra, gauge pegged to 80 and stayed there, Chevy dealer diagnosed faulty sensor and replaced, did it again 200 miles later, any thoughts?

In reply to dan. Does that number drop at all as the car warms up? 90 PSI while driving around cold sounds fairly normal.

I have a freshly rebuilt 1967 Pontiac 400 engine its idleing at 70lbs oil pressure goes to around 90 when driving could be the check valve? Oil pump?

In reply to Danny Jackson. It depends on what the root cause of the issue is. It could be the sensor which is usually relatively easy to fix, or the oil pump, which could be more difficult.

My oil light keeps coming on and off at random. How can I easily fix this problem.
