Hi all as title says I have had a stack oil pressure gauge fitted to my fiesta st turbo just would like to know what it should read out in psi

 

Id of thought a healthy engine should be 60 psi - 80 psi when cold and about 40 psi - 60 psi when hot.

 

What about at idle mate

 

Mine sits at 75 when cold and when warm around 50

 

Are those readings at idle?

Id of thought they were good pressures

 

At first start up it idles at 75-80 and wen on boost when warm sits at 50 and at idle when warn sits at 25 been told else were that's good

 

Imo that is good

 

Didn't know much about how they work. I knew they sit high psi at cold start as oil is cold and thicker. Just wanted to know what it should idle at when warm

 

was going to make a new post when i saw this, i run a 1.6 Turbo EFi, my Oil pressure reads 75 on first start up, then while driving, boost acceleration and what not it will sit in or around 50-55, then while on idle after driving like that it will sit at at around 25-28, this is on Fully synthetic motorsport oil, think its 5-30 oil not 100% im due a change of oil but its something like that.
