Oil pressure 2024 6.2

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

 

[Joseph Garcia]

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.

Thanks, that’s what I’m getting. Just seems low, I like 60.

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.

Hey Daniel if my comment was weird, then your reply was a piss poor attempt at trying to insult me. Perhaps instead of being an ass, simply ask “why” next time. Furthermore, I’ve noticed that you’ve garnered a reputation for making these kind of smarmy and condescending remarks elsewhere in this forum. I don’t recall you getting an invitation to act like an insufferable prck so kindly take that crap somewhere else.

People probably make those "weird" comments because just about every green/ environmental thing forced upon the auto industry has ended up costing us, the consumer, a lot of money. Be that cost in buying the equipment itself, or in the cost of earlier replacement because the emissions/ green equipment is determinantal to equipment longevity.

And charging more money for a product that doesn't last as long as the previous generation equipment really pisses off the people that are paying for it out of their own pockets.

My 2005 GMC Yukon 6.0l non Direct Injection, non AFM/DFM engine is now 20 years old with 275k mile in it. Only thing I have done to the engine is a water pump, thermostat and 2 sets of belts. While it does not have as much power or get as good fuel economy as my 2024 6.2l Direct Injected engine with AFM/DFM, there is no way this newer 6.2l engine will likely last as long or have such good reliablity. The newer engine has probably 50-100 more parts that are really not necessary. The AFM/DFM is not really a large fuel savings, but over complicates the engine and reduces the reliability. I have a AFM/DFM disabled at this moment on my new truck, but the engine still has the stupid camshaft and lifters that can and likely will still fail prematurely. Not to even talk about the possible bearing problems because they are now running water for oil and have a 2 stage oil pump that reduce the oil pressure at lower RPM's. Non of this was done for reliability, it was all done to check a box that some politician decided was required. Non technical people making technical decisions is and will continue ruining products and this country. The US is also dying on the sword for the rest of the world and we are all foolishly paying for it out of our pockets. We have had the cleanest automotive fleet in the world for almost 30 years.

All this GREEN crap is doing nothing more that costing the consumers money and the product lifespan of most of these products is 1/2 or less of products from 20 years ago. Also with all the rapid changes parts are hard to find and not usually available for as long a period of time. Also trying to legislate elimination of pecific appliances and fuel types is foolish and pandering to a bunch of misguided non techincal folks.

If my 2005 truck did not have the typical rusting rocker panels, I would likely have put money into the truck to keep it going vs having to spend stupid money on an exact replacement newer vehicle. I would prefer not to consider this as an option, but the options available today are really sad.
