CHEVY OIL PRESSURE HIGH....FIX!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- This is the fix 90% of the time when the oil pressure gauge is maxed out. The repair will cost about 50 bucks for the part and about 1 hour of labor. This is the same fix for most Chevy/GMC's.
Thanx for this video! You have no idea how awesome it is, as a woman, to be able to make these easy repairs myself by watching videos like yours! This fix worked just like you said on my 2006 Chevy Tahoe Z71. I also was able to switch out my 4WD switch after watching another video here! (solving the "4WD Service" light problem). I'm sick of getting taken advantage of $$$ at the mechanic shop, thank you so much!! ;)
Why do you have to qualify your statement with"as a woman"? What about you being a woman changes anything? What if men always put that qualifier in our statements. As a man I find women using this qualifier a joke!!! We thought you were equal!!! If so you wouldn't need the qualifier!!!
And you're not being taken advantage of at the auto garage!!! It cost men MONEY as well!!!
Andy F, as a guy I believe you. Not only woman but I notice other races taken advantage of for not knowing, not only dealerships but mechanic shops as well.
What was ur 4x4 switch doing?? Was it changing by itself???? Mine will be in 2h and all of a sudden ill look down and its in 4high lol
@@rockerpat1085 yes it changes everything!
Not all Woman can do what We so easily do, so, i applaud Her for been smart!
Way to go Baby!!!
Finally someone who knows what their talking about. No rhetoric, just plain repairing the issue. Thanks ImRamro!
+Jasperetta McGee Thank you, it really means a lot!!
I found lifetime warranty part for $50, dealer wanted $90. bought socket and articulated joint for$4 each. I did it myself too. for those wondering if you can....I am a fifty y.o. woman...no grommet on mine ;-) thanks for the video...Made me confident and saved me $$$$$' small hands and arms make it easier.
+Kristen Karpf I am really glad you made that comment, we should all try to start fixing our own things. Thank you for the reply!
You're the best, I saw the pressure gauge go to the max and pulled over immediately and searched the cause and found your video. 15 minute job and my gauge is a1.
I was getting geared up to change out the oil pump until I saw this video. I changed the oil pressure switch and it worked. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.
thanks for the help and video. just did this and it fixed the same issue you show in the video. my needle was stuck on the 80 and after replacement it's reading a steady 40. good to have good people online providing help. Thanks again!
Not only did you make it easy by knowing what to expect you helped considerably in the diagnosis of what was wrong Thanks.
Mine been doing same thing for days now. Checked oil level is fine and oil still clean. No noises no nothing running good except my gage goes to zero to 80 and bounces around and sometimes levels off . But ya , I'm going to drive it till I can get it fixed. Oil pressure is fine , just a faulty sending unit for the gauge only.
For those who use standard (SAE)
27mm = 1 ¹/¹⁶" socket.
Thanks for the video, my 03 Silverado went out. I skinned my hand getting the thing out and putting it back in. Talk about a tight space
Thanks for the video. My gauge was acting the same way. So this video convinced me it was the oil sensor & not my oil pump or instrument panel. Put in the new sensor & oil pressure on my gauge is back to normal. Thanks again 👍

Thank you for this! I had the exact same problem and was able to change out the sending unit and this fixed the problem. Price was $50 for the new unit.
+Steven Starace EXCELLENT!!
Glad I could help!
So my oil pressure is fluctuating between 40-60 will this do the trick?
GET the 1-1/16" oil pressure sensor socket!!! Maybe when you buy the sensor someone could mention there is a special socket that goes with it? Ha! A swivel universal joint on top of the socket and then an extension bar are also pretty much essential items for this project. Having the right tools make all the difference in how frustrating this can be. Thank you for the help!
Thank you so much. I watched a couple other videos where they took off the whole intake assembly. While. It didnt look hard, it seemed prone for somelike me to make some major errors. I came across your video and couldn't believe how easy it was! I litterally had the old one out, the new one in and tested, in under 30 minutes. Solved my problem and was super fast and easy!! Thanks a ton!
Awesome video. I just noticed today that my truck has this problem. Thanks for the tips!!!
Yep mine was the same deal... it always read 80 psi then one day it started going up/down. It would drop to 0 when I revved the engine and float back to 80 when it idled. A new pressure sensor took care of it.
great knowledge and a big help . Restore project 1978 GMC 454 V8 and been looking for the sending unit for about a week and know now down to the 27 mm
Thanks! Awesome video! I have the same issue with my 5.3. First thing I do when I buy a ls powered truck, is take the cover off the engine and throw it away :)
Do you replace it? If so, with what cover?
@josephcarter7830 it's just for cosmetic purposes to cover the top of the engine as far as I know. I didn't replace it with anything
03 Suburban oil gauge now fixed, the video is on point. THANK YOU!
+Darron Finnie No problem, I am really glad it worked
great video......mine just went out today on my o5 Tahoe z71......easy fix thanks to your video!!!!!
+William Atkins Hey right on!
Thanks for the feedback!
You saved me a lot of stress lol. My truck probably has the same problem
Judging from the comments Gm is making a lot of money on parts... great video🤠👍
Thank you so much, I got 2010 GMC Yukon xl, and I had the same issue which just got fixed because of you. Thank you soo much man really appreciate. From Pakistan!
You just saved me so much money. Thank you for this video!!
Thanks for the video man.... i had the same problem on my 05 sierra crewcab ... so the socket you need is a 1"1/16. and also want to say that for me was a little diferent .. i was not able to you my extencions due to a hose coming out of the engine .. but i was able to do it with a swivel . hope this helps some one
cotija91 thanks for socket size
cotija91 i did the same thing. just finiahed and thank people like u n the video maker.
Wow my gauge has been stuck at wide open for 6 years. Lol now it's is shiwing a total drop at heavy throttle after the truck is warm. Will replace the pickup tube oring and see. Nice video.
that's well done sir most shops would of taken the intake manifold off , that truck is well taken care of .
Just wanted to say thanks. Followed your video and fixed the problem. Exactly what the problem was. Great video. Thanks again!
Had dame issue with 2000 jeep 4.0
This is helpful for me. I have a 01 Tahoe. My needle isn't that high but pretty close plus I need a new catalytic converter.
remember to change the lifter screen filter under the sensor also. most common cause of the Check engine light on
Exact same problem I had a few weeks ago on my 06 4.8. Has 81k miles on it. Not a fun job, but easy enough.
Thanks for saving me a bunch of money. I just replaced mine on a 2005 Silverado. I had the identical symptoms before, and the identical results after! What a bitch getting to the thing though in the same location, couldn't even pinch my fingers together to start the threads by hand. I managed though. Thanks again!
There's somethin' 'bout this ImRamro guy I like! Thanks for the video.....you saved me lots of bucks by the DYI method. Thanks !
Dee Hisel Thanks diesel? If you have any questions.....please ask!

Well today I went to start up my Hummer H2 and I noticed the oil pressure gauge went all the way up to 80 PSI. I was thinking the oil pressure sending unit because I had been driving it a few days before with alright oil pressure and now it says 80 PSI.
Edit: awesome. You have the same engine as my H2
It was the problem huh? Mine is doing that right now
@@Titoo.1 it was the sending unit on mine. I guess it's a common problem
Thank you for the info on this part. Mine is maxing out to 80 psi as well. I'm going to start with the sending unit 1st
Please let me know if this fix works?
It is a very common thing and this should fix it.
The only time I have seen gauges max out is when a ground strap wire has been disconnected from the frame.
One thing that all the videos I have seen, have missed is the screen underneath the sensor, that should be changed as well. But the rest of it has been very helpful. Thank you
What is the best screen removal method? does it come right out? Thank you.
Same for trailblazers with the 5.3l motor. If you have the trailblazer with the I6 engine it's located right above the oil filter.
WOULD THIS CAUSE A NO MOVE IN ANY GEAR FOR THE TRAILBLAZER 4 .2 .... ??
Very helpful video. Thanks!
I also had to use a 1/2" drive socket-but the thick wall wouldn't clear something (manifold runner?). Turned it down in my lathe to get it to fit. I did have a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter which allowed the use of a 3/8 ratchet/extension.I also had to take out the 12mm headed bolt that held the camshaft position sensor to swing that sensor's connector out of the way. The shorter sensor will allow the use of a standard sensor socket. My 30 year old Snap On sensor socket wouldn't fit the new part due to the height. Not sure if the shorter one is available as a replacement part, but it would be easier to use the sensor socket.
The red stuff on the old one is thread lock. The "Acoustic Cover" that you had to put back on that said Vortec is always a waste to even bother putting it back on. All it does is make the air flow around the engine not very good. Those covers always end up in one of my closets. I just never believed an engine needed one over it.
Now if you just like the cosmetic look of it that is OK and cool too. A lot of folks just don't know it does nothing to help the engine.
My oil gage needled pegged to 80 this morning. The fix was exactly what you showed in the video. However, I am not used to seeing the oil gage needed moving as I press down on the gas pedal - at least not as far over to the reading of 60. . I take it this is normal? I bought the truck (2003 Avalanche) used 2 years ago, and the needle has always rested around 40-50. So, I take it I am in good shape now, and just have to get used to the needle moving more to the right now as I get up in speed, yes? BTW, thanks for the video. I thought the mechanic shops (Black's Tire) had done me wrong. Next up, I have to change out the fan knob for the AC/Heater. Speeds 1 and 2 don't work, and speed 3 comes on when it wants to. A blower motor resister was installed today as well, and that brought back some of the speeds, but not all of them. I was told that control panel under the radio will have to be swapped out.
No, the oil pressure should vary as a function of engine speed. 40 PSI at idle is typical, around 60 PSI or so at 3kRPM is what I see on a 2003 5.3L Vortec.
Anti seize doesn't glue anything. It makes it easy to remove later. The crush washer will seal it fine.
I'm going to fix my dad's Yukon.
Thanks Guy.
Man, thank you bro. Been looking for a video so I can locate it! Same spot on a 06 avalanche.
Thanks for the informative video,your saved me a huge headache...
Great video my truck sat a few weeks gauge was maxed out when I started it
Thank you for being so informative I have the same problem with the same engine. Now I know what to look for!! Thanks again
The 2 pieces from the old switch or actually part of the wire connector that's why they didn't come with the new one That's not locked tight you wouldn't want to put locked tight on an aluminum part Or aluminum threads which that is its some kind of pipe dope the use at the factory its a thread sealer nothing like lock tight more like Teflon tape thanks for the video
THANKS a lot man for you video, i just did mine one a GMC Yukon XL 2005...and...on the road again!!!
Adrien Carmona Hey right on.
Thank you for the reply, I love seeing people tackle these projects and find out that most repairs are pretty easy.
Glad your truck is back on the road!
My dully has a 454 vortex, I love it... thanks for posting this.
That is a beast motor.
Thanks , that's what I need. I just noticed same problem.
I loved this video. It was vert informative. I feel like I will be able to do this myself this week.
I watch vids all day trying to figure out my oil pressure problem and the answer here all along!
Hope you're well buddy!
I remember changing my oil sending unit on my old nova, older cars are so much easier to work on.
Heck yea, I still love turning wrenches on old school stuff.
gunnwild1 Heck yeah, some old cars you can step inside the engine compartment and have a seat while working. I do have to say though my 06 BMW is very easy to work on, the attention to future maintenance is well thought out.
+A Tuck
hey I have a questions about BMW my son wants to buy his first car and he wants a BMW 04 05 or 06 and Im concerned about it because those cars over a hundred thousand miles they tend to have a lot of issues inexpensive ones so my question is can you tell me any reviews about those cars how's your car doing since you been having it?
Tony Tigre I'm a mechanic so anything breaks I'll fix it myself. If you or he knows how to fix on cars then they can be great well over 100 or 200k miles as long as they have a naturally asperated inline 6. Turbo will shorten the life of the engine and requires more maintenance. If you know nothing about cars and or if the intended driver is bad at keeping maintenance up I would not recommend getting it. You will need expensive maintenance if the car has not been properly maintained, and most people don't properly maintain cars. My vehicle had all maintenance records in the glove. Look for a vehicle with records.
Tony Tigre,
BMWs are huge money pits.
Nice glove
thx for the quick fix,i changed mine on a toyota hilux 2.4 4x4 1995 for a champion filter and i got an extra 20 psi on start up,cheers
Thank u. Same thing our 05 just started doing today. I will try this tomorrow..
Hi Thank you. That's what the guy told me. This morning i got that replaced and leak is gone. Thanks for the help
Laxmi Sashi No problem, I hope I helped a little.
Nice job man!! I too enjoy trying to fix my own stuff, and its much cheaper.
Dude you rock I just fixed my 06 with your help. Thank you
Thanks for the video!! my Tahoe just developed this problem and thanks to you I will be fixing it myself!!!!
+Yvonne Ballaera Right on, did it fix the problem??
+ImRamro it's been rainy here so haven't gotten into it yet, but I am pretty confident the hubby and I can do it. Thanks again!!
***** Well I hope the weather clears soon.
Tell your husband good luck!
Please let me know if you guys have any questions?
+ImRamro Thanks brother
my truck has the same problem this video was very helpful thanks..
No problem, I hope it fixed the problem.
FCK TRUMP
Krissysaurus Rex stfu . Not a political video
Liquid Teflon is what goes on them. And there is a filter right under the unit your supposed to replace. It has to be picked out with a hook pick
Really good job! You're really good at doing videos. This is my first time watching and I subscribed. Keep up the good work! 👍 God Bless 🙏
Great video !!
I had same issue in a Hummer H2 2006 that has the same vortec engine ,the mayor big issue is that is very very uncomfortable to take the sensor out so i was helping myself to see the oil pressure sensor location with a mirror , i bought the extra 5 bucks expensive part that fitted right up and has the tread lock Oreally's part# S4202 by BWD
thank you very much
Xavier Camacho No problem, glad it worked out.
I've had mine done twice and keeps going out. Now fixing to get it done the third time! Gauge tested good both times,but still pegs out to 80 mine is an 04' Silverado truck
Ive done mine 3 times as well on an 04 and it just failed yet again, ugh!
@@augustdajnko make sure the connector is replaced also. They did mine and finally it's been good.
Thanks for the vid. Same issue on my silverado
I noticed my gauge today and it had me concerned. I watched your video and I feel better. Tomorrow I buy the new sensor and install. I'll let you know. Thanks in advance.
Thank you, please let me know if you run into any problems??
I received my sensor and installed it today. The most difficult part of the job is releasing the captive connector. I finally succeeded by reaching around with my left hand to release the tab and pulling the connector with my right hand. NOTE: The connector is easily removed once the tab releases it. Bottom line: 40 PSI indicated and pressure rises slightly as I rev the motor. Thanks for your video.
leedek66 No problem, glad it worked out.
The switch is for killing the spark if you get zero oil pressure, the pressure sensor is next to the oil filter.
I really hope this works trying it tomorrow
Mine is pegged all the way past 80. Like about 5 o'clock on the gauge! Just got the vehicle 05 Trailblazer.
At 7:30 it's not tapered thread, that would be an interference fit. The crush washer would be useless if threads didn't allow shoulder to bottom out against the washer. Otherwise thanks for the info
Nice fix. I have a 4.3 to do and suspect it will be similar located . Thanks a lot.
+GILLEBRATH The 4.3 liter V-6 is exactly the same.
Thanks I'll know what to expect and need ,Patience . Cheers mate.
Needle pegged 80+ psi when running or with key on engine off needle should sweep from 0-80 then return to 0 till engine start if it doesn't return to 0, its the sending unit, common problem. tow or fluctuating oil pressure theirs a small filter screen under sending unit, PITA to remove, but a small pick and a good tug gets it out, you can also try spraying carb or brake clean to flush old screen, they clog up with debris and sludge (oil changes ??). Another problem clogged screen gives engine starts but shuts off with-in 30 seconds, PCM needs to see oil pressure with-in 30 sec of engine start or it shuts engine off. Low or fluctuating oil pressure can be "O" ring on pick-up tube, add 2 extra quarts of cheap oil jack up back of vehicle and see if problem goes away. If not oil pump pressure regulator valve in pump maybe stuck replace pump. A spastic or vibrating needle probably stepper motor in gauge cluster, google GM gauge repair, , None of above will cause oil consumption, if you have AFM (active fuel management that drops from V8 to V4 mode particularly the 2006 to ohh about 2010-2012 years google it. just my 2cts worth hope it helps someone GM and ASE master tech 30+ yrs.
A 1995 GMC with 454 (L19) my gauge needle reads hi 60 - 80 on the dashboard oil pressure dial. Cold and warm.
Is that okay? To have high oil pressure ? Suburban has 50k miles, and Castrol synthetic 5W30 oil
Some of these engines also have a screen in the mounting hole that gets plugged. It can be removed with a small, curved pick. Replace it when you replace the sensor…
Are sure they put oil filter screens in that bore hole
Mine went straight down 6 on-the-clock the pointer on oil pressure gauge it did it yesterday,, today on the way home from where I was at just a couple of miles the truck went into limp mode it's a 6.0 2005 4 l80 2500HD nothing like coming home 27 miles an hour when you're tired it's a good thing I was only about 7 mi from home instead of couple of hours they've been a long long night
thanx for the video. just got done with mine. appreciate it and everythings back to normal
Nice. A Rancho guy! I've had a bunch Still have a 70.
Good job man!!!
That 's my same problem at my suburban.
Good video.
For me I had changed this thinking that was the problems and it fixed it but a couple days after the same problem came back. Im not sure if its a o ring in the oil pump or a bearing gone bad.
That ain't no craigens that ticket says O'Reilly's 😂😂😆
we need to make a ido on restoring that Camaro. haha great video man
That would be cool, some day bro I will have enough cash to get the project started.
Thanks. Very useful. I should be able to knock this out without too much trouble
Thank you for this video. Walked me right through it. Thanks for taking the time to make this vid!
This is probably the only thing that is going to be nice about the work I'm doing on my 90 Chevy G20
@7:25 anti seize aint sealer ;)
Was great help for me. Thank you for the info
Thank you ImRamro. Probably saved me a big headache. You Duh Man! Peace, CBW
Thanks for video man my oil ptessure gage at 40 when truck is off what do i do about that 02 1500
I use 27 deep that I ground down wall a little so it dont snag the cam sensor. And swivel, 3 inch extension
With this gage like this would that cause a ticking noise to come and go cause mine goes to 80 the same way but I have a ticking noise that comes and goes
I have tried three different filters and one that was the same that came on the truck when I bought it.
When you install a new filter the pressure does go up and it is louder right?
Here is a thread I found on the issue and what other mechanics and non mechanics were talking about.
I hope you find some of the info useful.
Your situation is rare, but not impossible. I would think that the oil bypass in the block would redirect the flow of oil and not cause any problems. We all know that oil pressure that is too high will cause problems and 60 would be about the max I would be safe with.
www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=319530
anytime a gauge max's out its the ground side of the circuit, weather sending unit gauge or harness is a case by case basis.
How do you go about fixing it?
@@lennythelizard3856 Well you just run a new ground wire for the gauge
Thank you... I'm so greatfull you guys do these videos. It really helps.
It's weird I have the same year Tahoe and mines maxed out and when I drive faster the oil pressure goes to 0
When I turn the key without starting my 03 s10 my gauge doesn’t move at all but once I start it the needle goes all the way to 80. Is it still likely to be the same issue?
any advice on an 03 1500HD with oil pressure that starts high then bottoms out - pressure increases when i give it some gas but then continues to bottom out while driving. Did an oil change less than 2000 miles ago - filter SPEWED oil at the time. I don't see or smell oil but now i read low unless parked on an incline. Truck runs fine. Going to put some Seafoam in the crankshaft and try to break up any sludge that may be in there and if need be replace the sending unit. praying its not the pump.
Did you ever resolve this issue? Mine is doing the same thing. After the truck warms up, the pressure drops until I hit the gas.
Aimee Walker mine hits max low when I come to a stop and oil light comes on.
Awesome, I have the exact same issue, thanks for the excellent video!
My 2005 chevy tahoe is doing this and here I am. Wish me luck!!!! Lol
my 04 Suburban did that this morning at startup. pegged to 80 and stayed,not even running.
So do I need to leave the yellow & grey rubber seal inside the sensor when reinstalling?
