Hi All,
I have a 2014 Dodge Journey R/T 3.6 Pentastar and I just love it.
Last week it developed an oil leak, then when I was driving home Thursday the check engine light came on. I immediately when to my Chrysler Dealer.
The undercarriage was soaked with oil leaking from the Oil Cooler. The engine fault was a P060D high oil pressure. The technician was unsure if the leak had caused the high oil pressure issues or the high pressure caused the leak.
They replaced the Oil Cooler, shampooed the engine and everything seems fine...........Maybe.......
I decided to keep my central electronic console in Oil Pressure mode, to keep an eye on it. Upon starting my car the electronic gauge reads High over 600 KPA (~90 PSI) and it stays there until the engine temperature gauge gets to normal running temperature. About 10 minutes driving time. At that point the oil pressure drops to normal about 30% between Low and High. About 200 KPA (30 PSI).
The thing is, I don't have a reference point for what is normal oil pressure for a cold start in the morning. Is it typical to run at 600 KPA until the engine is hot, or do I still have a high oil pressure problem?
If other Journey owners, who have the capability of seeing their Oil Pressure values could post them, it would go a long way to my piece of mind.
FWIW, the ambient temperature was about 5 degrees C ( 40 Fah.).
KPA or PSI values OK just let me know.
Thank you.
