High Oil Pressure?

[Mihnea Cotet]

Dave and David,

On my 3B engine with 110k miles, at idle with hot oil (80-90 degrees) it
stays to 2.5 Bar. I've only seen it drop at idle to less than 2 Bar after a
long WOT run on the highway with a pretty lean mixture and where the oil
temp was around 140 degrees.
So, IMHO, Dave's oil pressure is normal and there's nothing to worry about....

HTH,

Mihnea
