so anyone else ever put a scanner on a LT? I know they have a variable displacement pump but I can't imagine they run the same oil pressure at all rpm.

are the new gauges just fancy looking lights or are they actually able to hold high oil pressure at idle? I'm guessing not, cause that would be highly inefficient fuel mileage wise.

but then again the new LT seems to get worse milage in the suv's than the old ls's even with direct injection and 10 speeds.

What do you mean better? I'm curious now.
Lots of people on the forum have had oil pressure issues. Whether it's
from oil pump Oring issues, cam bearings, DOD issues , leaking VLOM's
ETC ETC
Your oil "issue" is NOT an issue at all.... It's working exactly as designed...
SO for having a 10+ year vehicle you are fortunate to have a good one/ one that
has been taken care of.

Ahh ok. I gotcha on why I'm lucky now. Hell i even have a warranty the dealership thru in.

I was reading tho that the 2012 engine/tranny were a good year to have. Just what I read was all.
