What would you expect for normal oil pressure 2024 6.2 Tahoe?

I cannot personally speak with authority for the 2024 model year, but the general consensus for previous model years is 45-55 psi cold, and 20-25 psi hot at idle.

Just seems low ...
Less than previous older versions - your oil pressure is perfectly normal.
Oil pressure costs MpGs; CAFE MpG test score performance is a problem for automakers.

Pressure is actually a measurement of restriction to flow.
What is needed is to find out if oil is adequately flowing through the know problem areas.
If you restrict oil from moving to and through where it's supposed to go, your oil pressure will go up,
and you'll feel better, until something gives.

If you seriously want higher oil pressure, try a motor oil specified for the L8T.
It's the 6.6L fraternal twin of your 6.2L that is always a V8 100% of the time; its cylinders can never go lazy.

The 6.2l L87 has a 2 stage oil pump. While I have not had a chance to really track the oil pressure, it seems that the oil pressure at idle is typically around 25-30 PSI and typically close to 60 PSI while cruising. Not sure if this is what others are seeing.

Great… another “green” feature. Anyway to make it always run at full pressure?

Why do people make weird comments like this? I can’t tell if you just don’t have any family lineage you might want to leave the earth to or just don’t have a college degree and a few decades of engineering experience to understand how to build things.

If my comment was weird, then your reply was just a nonsensical word salad. Try again.
