2006 vortex max No Oil Pressure when cold
I have a 2006 Chevy pu 6.0 Vortex max with 150k miles.
I have no oil pressure when I first start the engine.
I know it's not the gauge or sensing unit. Engine starts to knock.
If I raise rpm's to 1000, pressure will pick up.
Once engine gets hot oil pressure is running 25 to 30 psi.
At 2500 rpm pressure goes to 45 to 50 after it is hot.
I've changed the oil and filter every 3000 miles since it was new.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

I changed the oil every 3000 miles.
Someone had already said something about the check valve being stuck.
I really don't know.
Once the oil is hot there isn't any problems.
Everything seems nomal.
