oil pressure? new 2025 3.0 turbo 20-32 PSI seems way low

[motomarc]

My new truck has 400 miles on it now and noticed going through the gages that the oil pressure seems so low it's between.
20-30 psi but typical is 22-24 psi just driving normal.
When put foot in it lightly for better acceleration I have seen 32psi.
I have no idea about the volume on these pumps I know how important it is from the old V8 and the cam/lifter issues.
I know 0-20 weight oil is in these 3.0 SO models and on the HO motor they use the 0-40 weight.
on the 1st oil change I will be going with the 0-40 as long as ram care says it will not void the warranty.
20 weight oil is just no good enough in my opinion for the stress and especially the heat created from engine and turbos really need the protection.

I swear these company's want your engines to fail by doing things like this.
Last truck was a 6.7 Cummins always around 40+ to 52 PSI and hits the bypass.
the V8's I think is like 70PSI on bypass.
these aren't Harleys running at 8psi oil pressure, they're TWIN TURBO 10.5 : 1 compression engines that's a lot of load and pressure on bearings.
come on RAM! it better hold up for no less than 100k miles.

Thank you for your comments I look forward to hearing others information on these new engines and the truck in general.

I'm not sure I'd switch viscosities like that just because of what the HO uses. The two engines share the same displacement, but are totally different engines. The SO was designed to use 0w-20. Using a higher viscosity oil than the engine is designed for can cause issues. I suspect that would void the warranty, but either way I would do a lot of research before making that switch.

I have no idea what the expected oil pressure is for the SO Hurricane engine. There isn't a standard catch-all pressure for all engines, so again, you might need to do research on that before freaking out about what you're seeing. In the mean time you have a warranty if something bad happens.

0w 40?

0w 40? View attachment 185380

20w-50?

It probably has a variable displacement/pressure pump. (Hemis do not). I bet if you rev it over 3k rpms or so pressure will jump up significantly. My brother has a 3.6 Durango and I’ve towed with it and it does the same thing. Hovers around 30 psi until you rev it a bit.

The GM 6.2/5.3s act the same way on the oil pressure gauge. My old 5.3 would run around 40 all the time and jump up to 70-80 when you’d stand on it.

WD-40?

Attached a copy of oil pressure specs(I see a typo) and description and operation.

I call it operating as designed not as desired.

20w-50?

20w-50 for winter, whale blubber for summer

I haven't paid attention to my oil pressure yet, but I'll check it out if I leave the house today.

Stellantis propulsion system engineers employed a suite of state-of-the-art technologies for the Hurricane twin-turbo to deliver reduced emissions and attain big-engine power:

• Two low-inertia, high-flow turbochargers, each feeding three cylinders, for rapid response to throttle inputs
• Plasma Transfer Wire Arc (PTWA) coating in the cylinder bores for an ultra-thin, low-friction wear surface
• High-pressure (5,075 psi/350 bar) direct fuel injection with pumps (single for SO/dual for HO) actuated by a dedicated chain-driven shaft
• Dual overhead camshafts with wide-range, fully independent variable valve timing
• Fuel-saving engine stop-start (ESS) function with robust starter motor for quick restarts
• Engine-mounted water-to-air charge cooler with a dedicated cooling circuit (single inlet for SO/dual inlet for HO)
• Dual water-cooled exhaust manifolds integrated in the cylinder head
• Continuously variable displacement oil pump with integrated scavenge stage tailors pump output to engine demand, reducing frictional losses and helping save fuel
• High-flow ball-valve thermostat minimizes restriction in the cooling system, reducing mechanical losses
