oil pressure
« on: 31 January 2004, 19:17 »
what should the oil pressure gauge say when it is working? cos it sort of fluctuates depending on engine speed/load etc. is this normal?
when im driving along it says 4.5bar and when idling it says 2bar.

Sounds ok, 4.5 bar is over 65psi. At idle when the engine is hot, 2 bar is good oil pressure.
