LOW OIL PRESSURE

[goldeneyee]

Own a 2019 Ram Big Horn Crew Cab with the standard Hemi 5.7 engine. Today I noticed my oil pressure gauge reading appeared to be on the lowest reading hash mark at idle. I then revved the engine slightly and the pressure went up To say the + 1/4 hash mark. I did not notice any lifter noise at the low reading---everything appeared normal. Truck has 3300 miles on it and I assume break in oil. Is this normal pressure for this engine or in the alternative a bad gauge and take it to the dealer for a mechanical gauge hookup/reading.

Oil gauge isnt very precise with needles and hash marks but idle oil psi can be as low as 5psi for normal operation which would keep the needle relatively low on the gauge.

Go to the oil psi gauge on the EVIC because it uses a numerical gauge.

Digital readout at idle 46 lbs

Hi goldeneyee,
If you feel your vehicle is not operating as designed and decide to have this looked into by your dealer, we would be happy to connect you with a Case Specialist to assist with that process. Feel free to send our team a private message.
