Welcome- low oil pressure is a bit like a heart attack waiting to happen, and you must take it seriously. You don't mention how many miles are on your Z, but oil pressure obviously increases as revs increase. The only way to know for sure would be to remove your oil pressure sending unit at the block and insert a known manual pressure gauge to check for problems. Together with a CONSULT 3 unit, you can verify whether there's truly a problem.


Unless you have the tools on hand to do all this, there's not much else a DIYer can do. Where are you located? Maybe there's other members on this board who can help.

 

I agree with dk.Get a correct reading with a manual gauge.
Also,I have a 03,I have replaced my sending unit awhile back.
However,the gauge itself sticks at times. I tap it on the side and
it gives a correct reading. I've talked to other Z owners of 03-04
cars and some have reported similar problems with the gauge.

How many miles on your car? THe sticking gauge problem on my car started around
75-80k miles. It now has 96k miles.
Uses zero oil between changes!

 

mine stared doing this not too long ago, 130k miles. i didnt bother to try and fix it bc i planned on swapping engines anyways. i would love to know wha fixes this tho!!

fotgot to add my gauge drops to zero and light comes on when i turn left haha

 

I need help with my Z guys. I have an 05 with 138k miles. It reads 0-1psi at idle and oil light stays on until I rev it up to around 5-6k Rpm and oil pressure moves up to about 5-10psi. Oil pressure was checked manually and it reads around 60psi at idle which it always has after a new oil change. I've changed oil pressure sending unit/oil pressure sensor and it's still doing this... what should I do now?

 

Following!

 

Did any solution ever occur?

 

You do realize this post was made almost SEVEN years ago, right? The OP never posted any updates afterwards...
