What oil pressure should I have please?

Hey all,

I was watching my gauges today and when my oil temp is at about 95 degrees C my oil pressure runs at about 50 psi (3.4 bar) at 2000 rpm..

When cold my oil pressure is up around the 70-80 psi mark

Does this sound right to anyone? I'm not sure what it should be running at

Thanks

Adrian

sounds right to me. Mine on start is at about 5 bar, and then drop sto about 2/3 when warmed up.  :D

That is good news :) Thanks for the replies

especially as it appears that my head gasket is leaking (again) from the back of the block :(
