![]() ![]() Oil quality and viscosity: When oil is thicker (i.e: more viscous) it faces more resistance when passing through the engine's passages, leading to higher oil pressure.If the relief valve experiences a malfunction, the oil pressure can quickly rise to a level that is not safe for the engine. Usually, these valves are set up to open and allow oil through once the pressure reaches a certain level of PSI. Relief valve malfunction: The purpose of a relief valve is to provide a place for the oil to flow when the pressure gets too high.The resistance the oil faces in flowing through a partially or completely obstructed passage could be one reason for high oil pressure. ![]() If these passages become blocked, the oil would not be able to pass through efficiently and effectively lubricate all parts of the engine.
