Recently the trucks oil pressure has been right around 20 unless im on the interstate or accelerating hard. I figured the oil was alittle low so i checked it and sure enough it was low, took a whole quart. But when I pulled the oil cap off I was shocked to see what looked like melted carmal built up inside the cap. Never seen this before. Anyway the the quart of oil didnt help the oil pressure, and what the hell was that under my oil cap.Thanks Ben
Its either condensation from the truck not getting heated up or you have a head gasket problem.Find somone with a Tech II and have them hook it to see it you have gauge or sender problem.

isnt 20lbs of oil pressure to low. what weight oil you using? how many miles on the truck? sounds like you got a oil pupm problem
Simple: 408 on steroids!
single digits coming soon!
10w30 mobil 1 synthetic and it has 96000 miles and I let the truck warm up every time I drive it for 10mins
Then check the gauge or the sender.

Brand new gauge cluster had it replaced do to the recall. Might be the sender I hope
Spec at hot idle is a lot less than 20 PSI.
The besy way is find someone with a scanner to check to see what it is really reading.
