I have a video of the gauge under a steady load from a while back. The video shows it fluttering between 70-75psi. So it's not exactly the same thing, but the same flutter happens under light throttle around 100psi. I spoke with the service manager when I brought her in. He explained it as the...
Yeah the needle fluctuates back and forth as the RPMs rise when I'm not really hard on the throttle. Like the needle rises as expected when acceleration starts, but once it hits ~100+psi, I can see the needle drop slightly, then rise back up, etc. Getting harder into the throttle seems to steady...
I appreciate all the replies, I guess I was worried because I was seeing the pressure gauge needle bounce back and forth a bit even though the engine rpms were rising. I will follow the advice given though and stop watching the gauge so much!
Hi all,
I want to preface this by saying that I am very neurotic when it comes to my vehicles and tend to stare at gauges/temperatures constantly and worry about what they are reading. I posted around a year ago about oil pressure gauge flutter at steady throttle and the forums said normal and...
Hi all, looking to do spark plugs on my 2017 GT350 soon, (I'm at 47000miles), and I can't seem to find the correct replacement plug. Looking through the forums I found that they replaced the SP-519 with SP-548, but the Ford parts site also has a SP-590 and NGK has options as well, (LTR6DP13). Is...
So @honeybadger you think this is normal then?
Edit: You're right @honeybadger, I tried it at 70ish in 5th with cruise control and the gauge was steady, there may have been a little fluctuation, but it was extremely hard to tell. Also did the test at 80 I'm 6th, same thing, steady with maybe a...
Yeah I was much more worried until you originally replied so thanks for that! Got an appointment for Friday morning at the dealer, hoping it's something fast and easy!
I have an extended warranty, so I guess I'll make an appointment with the dealer :/. I was just under the car, no leaks or anything. But I wouldn't know where to start with checking the sender.
Hi all,
I have a 2017 GT350 with around 42500 miles on her. I did an oil change last week and now I'm noticing that my oil pressure gauge is fluctuating when my rpms are steady. I'll post a video of it doing it. In the video I had cruise control on and the rpms were stable at around 2000. The...
Hey all,
My OLM is at 35% and I'm at around 4k miles on this oil, so I am planning on doing an oil change soon. I was looking through the Shelby supplement manual this morning and saw they have caveat for oil change intervals in hotter climates:
