Capri Technical Forum:

no matter what ive done. i have oil pressure thats pretty much just above red line always. it goes up slightly when i rev it at stand still. ive topped up the oil and still no difference.

any ideas

thanks

The oil pump in a capri is a gear pump. Basically as it rotates it squeezes the oil between the gears and produces pressure. So.... your pump is probably goosed, or on the way out. Easy job to replace...
