95 Buick Riviera, low oil pressure when idoling, goes up to 40 when moving, what's the fix?

yeah i would just not worry about it too much, it sound normal. some cars are just like that,but if youre really worried about it,then flush your engine at your next oil change just in case your pump is a little dirty, then drive it like you stole it and have fun. also you can do what i did and get a k%26amp;n oil filter.95 Buick Riviera, low oil pressure when idoling, goes up to 40 when moving, what's the fix?

sounds like your low on oil, or the pump is blocked a bit
it is either low on oil or a cam shaft bearing might be out
I've owned one of the those car's before the oil pressure just does that at an idle, mine was taken back to the dealer on that issue.. The engine doesnt need to pump massive amounts of oil at idle rpms...
There is no easy fix. The crank and rod bearings are warn. Pull the engine and put a crank kit in it. That will fix it. Personally, I'd leave it alone, just drive it until it drops. It will last for a long time like that. When it starts to knock, then you have problems. Now, you may be able to flush the engine with deisel fuel in hopes that there is some slug clogging the pickup screen, but that's a long shot.
use 20w-50 motor oil your bearing have to much wear on your high milage vehicle.
just the way it is
