Think it should be at least 0.8 bar when 80 degrees temp. and at 2-3000 revs at least 2 bar.

just fitted mine yesterday, (well tell a lie, got me mechanic mate to do it )

works sound but to be honest I dont really understand the point of it,

why do i need to know the oil pressure?

whens it bad? mines in PSI not bar tho.

was watching it this morning when i first started it up it was at 70psi, went down to 40 when idling in traffic then when ragging it it was between 60psi n 80psi

this alrite?

the point of it is to tell you when it gets dangerous! like when it starts heading towards zero!

thats the time to get worried!

Its is a good thing to have these and will tell you if your oil pump is running right or not.
