The following typical faults can occur:

Pressure too high at speeds above 2000rpm:
Pressure relief valve failing to open due to dirt

Pressure too low over the entire speed range:
Oil intake strainer clogged, intake pipe loose, or broken, oil pump worn etc.

Pressure too low in the lower speed range:
Pressure relief valve sticking in the open position due to dirt.
