    Default Oil gauge fluctuates

    The oil gauge on my 2003 GMC 2500 HD fluctuates with increase and decrease of RPM's. Normal??

    Defender, good question .. In my experience the short answer is yes.
    I bought my 2003 Chevy Duramax new in Oct 2002 and have observed the following oil pressure behavior over the years I’ve owned it. At cold start up oil pressure is ~ 60 psi at idle and after the engine warms up idle oil pressure is ~ 20 psi. After warm-up and driving 65-70 mph the oil pressure is ~60 psi and ranges between 20 & 60 PSI depending on rpm and driving speed. Unless I’m missing something your truck is exhibiting normal oil pressure behavior for a 2003 LB7.
