There is no problem with that is there, I mean, the boat's exhaust is underwater, right...?
I have noticed a lag in oil pressure response upon first starting our Suburban in the last month or more, and I'm wondering why. It may well have been doing that for much longer, and I just noticed it.
This is a well-cared for vehicle that I'd expect to go well over 200k miles and it's too early to be seeing serious motor issues, IMO.
Besides pulling the boat since July (and usually putting the exhaust underwater and letting it idle there while I dock), the only other out of the ordinary thing I've done is use an old AC Delco PF25 oil filter at the last oil change in September. I'm not 100% sure that was the correct one, and I changed it for a Fram PH5 not long after I noticed the lagging oil pressure.
Any thoughts?
Our last Suburban ('94 GMC with TBI motor) was into the 220k's and still running Ok when we sold it. And I think it probably had a little rougher life than the one we have now.
