Oil System Pressure

[Bernie Benz]

"M1 will do it every time", he said kiddingly.  The lube system only has an
over pressure relief valve, at about 50 or 60 psi.  Does your "condition"
alarm you or the low pressure warning system?  Low oil pressure means full
pump capacity, unrestricted flow.  That's good.  Low pressure is good, no
pressure is bad, watch for your idiot lights, not the gauge.
