What oil pressure should I have please?
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
