Hello everyone, a new member here,
I had read some posting about oil pressure gage reading, on ford ranger, so it seems this might be common problem.
I have 2025 ford ranger XLT, 4x4 with 2.3 eco boost engine with 4600 miles on odometer, that has erratic oil pressure reading.
At stop light in city shows about 25 to 30 PSI, when traffic starts rolling, some time the pressure goes up to 95 PSI, and on another lime might goes down to 22, 23 Psi or graph does not move at all. Cold temp engine, or normal operating temp does not makes any difference.
On freeway ramps, sometime, pressure stays around 35 PSI all the way to 70 miles and sometimes goes up to 95 PSI then settles back around 45 to 55 PSI, which I think is normal range.
I have taken the car to dealer, but I do not think they test drive it and just telling me pressure is normal, which does not make sense to me. Am thinking about taking to another dealer for second opinion. I was told this new truck has variable pressure oil pump, which I am not familiar with, could that have anything to do with reading.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem and what did you do to resolve the issue.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
