Oil pressure

[Rod Brown]

The last time I had my oil changed,the oil pressure in my 09 Vette went up to 60 lbs. The dealer stated that was normal.I just had my oil changed again and my oil pressure is how 40 pounds. Is there something wrong with my car or did the dealership install the wrong oil filter the previous time that raised my oil pressure Thanks in advance for any reply.Rod

Had same issue with my 07. Dealer insisted spec was 6 1/2 quarts, manual said 5 1/2. Had them drain a quart. Pressure returned to normal range.
Hope this helps.

Hi Rod,

I checked with my internal resources and the part number for the oil filter is 89017524 Double check what you have on there now and let us know.

That's the OE GM part number for that filter which may not appear on a replacement and may be hard to see on a factory-installed filter. If it's a GM filter it also will have an ACDelco number which may be easier to read. The proper replacement oil filter for an 2009 with the LS3 engine is an ACDelco PF48. If you have an LS7 or an LS9, it's the UPF48R.

I'd be curious as to what filter is on the engine, now because I want to avoid like the plague any filter which restricts enough to decrease oil pressure by 20 psi.

Filter part number

The number on the bill is 019167894,Delco.I can't see a number on the filter as the car is too low for me to shimmy under the car.The oil filter is dark blue.

19167894 is the GM PN for the PF48F which is the "Durapack" version of the PF48 (PN of that is what "Customer Service Kelly" listed above). Durapack means it comes only in a case of 12. PF48 and PF48F are functionally the same, so provided what's on the engine is actually that filter, then your oil pressure issue is not filter related.

With the engine at operating temperature what is the oil pressure at idle and what is it at 3000 rpm?

Also, what oil is in the engine?

Hey Hib,

Thank you for clarifying!
