can't find the post asking people their oil pressure.
help reqd.

 

What do you need to know ?

Think its not less than 28psi hot idle

Steve.

 

Haynes manual states minimum oil pressure should be 1.0 BAR (14.5PSi) at 750RPM, 2.8 BAR (40.6PSi) at 2000RPM and the oil pressure warning light activates at 0.3 - 0.5 BAR (4.3 - 7.2PSi).

 

was told the warning light comes on at 15psi??

 

Mine is not much over a bar on idle, but it idles under 1000

 

What about shoving a shim in the spring to riase it?

 

well when hot mine is 40.6PSi
Cold around 60 on start up

 

my kitcar is 85 cold and 65/70 hot

 

Surely it depends entirely on the car!!!!

Neil.

 

How much does the type of oil you use affect this??


im seeing 80psi at cold idle and drops to 40 psi at 60 degrees,
but have not had the car warmer than that yet

worried its gonna drop too low lol

this is using 10-40 mineral oil at the mo
