Hey everyone. New to the site as a poster but have gotten a lot of good info here. Just had a quick question that pertains to engine oil pressure seemingly running high on my 2008 Z71 Tahoe. Only mod is Black Bear Performance tune. I'm running Mobile 1 5W-30 with 1 quart of the Lucas Stabilizer and my pressure seems to hold steady above the normal midway operating point. Curious if anyone else has seen this or knows what might be causing it. Thanks.

It's normal. Be happy you have good pressure.

I start to panic if mine drops below mid level at idle and doesn't hit 70 WOT

If worried change your filter to a WIX 57060 or a 57060xp.
I run the standard 57060.

Stop putting Lucas in with the oil. All it is is a thickening agent and dilutes the additives in the oils. It has shown no chemical benefit to oils in oil analysis. just my $.02
