pump or bearings 97 firebird? on my 97 firebird the oil pressure gauge is on low but driving it goes up, i would like to know if this is normal or if i need to replace anything i was told by a chevy garage that the sensor and oil pump are good but it could Be the bearings and if i replace the bearings i might as well go ahead and replace oil pump.
 
too thin of oil . Switch to a 10 40 in the summer and a 10-30 in the winter if you live in a colder climate like the midwest. You need 10 pounds of oil pressure for every 1,000 rpm's
