[s-cars] Oil Pressure

2 to 5 bar movement is normal.  It should start out when the engine is cold
being pegged most of the time.  As the oil warms up it should start
fluctuating with engine speed.  Mine reads about 2 bar at idle and pegs at
anything over about 2k rpm.

Subject: [s-cars] Oil Pressure


Hello all,
I've owned my 93 S4 for a couple of months now, and I just got my oil
changed for the first time. Before the oil change, the oil pressure
gauge never moved once the car was started. Now, it goes anywhere from
2 bar to 5 bar depending on engine speed. Which is correct? Should it
move all the time, or not? TIA, I appreciate your help. I'm in the
Marine Corps and at a time-consuming school right now, so I don't have
much time for these things. Also, should I let any old oil changing
place flush my radiator fluid, diff, etc? I'm pretty sure the previous
owner hadn't done any of those in a while.
