On WOT or close to it, oil pressure jumps to 80 on the gauge, is this normal?

Yes

Thanks, I thought so, but for some reason I've never really noticed it. I'm finally commuting against traffic lol.

Probably the reason you never noticed it is that when you are hard on the throttle, a better place for your eyes is on the road ahead of you.

That's a valid point haha

Pretty sure the owners manual says that you may see oil pressures reach that high and its perfectly normal. When I start my truck when its cold I get 70PSI until it warms up and my gauge goes to 120PSI.

All those WOT moments require a stop at the fuel pump every once and awhile...

Are you saying my fuel is low? Haha

 

[GobblerK5]

Maybe?

Speaking of fuel, put some 93 Gulf in the tank last week, no where near mpg of Mobil 93

Yeah the newer rigs do that. My 2015 Camaro (stupid thing used BTI or whatever instead of PSI) would jump from 3 to 6 under WOT. 1 BTI=14.79 PSI or some odd jazz. I'm pry using the wrong acronym anyway but it went off some stupid British crap. Obviously a Camaro and a truck are like apples to bananas but hey!

I noticed a higher spike when throttling heavy after my first few oil changes. It seems like now that I have a 0ver 5000 miles on my rig the oil flows a bit better. Using Mobil 1 0W-20 Advanced Fuel Economy and a Mobil one filter, and oils seems to keep clean and no oil loss as of yet.
