[s-cars] Normal Oil Pressure?

[Fred Munro]

Hi Scott;

This depends a bit on oil viscosity and temperature. On my car, a hot (~130
C) 10W30 gives 1.8 bar at idle and 4.5 bar at 3000 RPM. A hot (~130 C)
20W50 gives 2 bar at idle and around 5 bar above 3000 RPM.

Hey guys,

Forgive me if this is a stupid question... I RTFM and
it said anything below 1.8 bar should be of concern
but no max or normal... what do you see at idle versus
throttle?
