I drove my car on some of the infamous 400 series highways (in Ontario) this weekend to visit my GF at her parents house near Niagara Falls, 250 ish kms one way. Either way it was my first time going that speed for that long in this particular car. At first I always stayed away from excessive highway driving cause i thought the constant high RPM was bad for it. Now i know better lol.
On average i was doing 4000-4300RPM for about 6 hours (b16 tranny lol) doing about 100-120 km/h. I was constantly looking at my oil pressure gauge (aftermarket) and it held a nice 60psi at that rpm the whole way, except once i noticed it went to 70 when i gave it a bit more gas and then it just dropped again to 60 and held while i was still lightly accelerating. I just thought it was weird cause i thought the oil pump was fed off the crank and should stay consistent? Is this anything or am i just nuts?
