Oil pressure Reading

Post by M D E » Wed May 06, 2009 9:06 am

Where should the oil pressure needle be on warm idle, mine seems to have dropped down to zero just touching the red. Oil pressure is 3/4 under load .. Thanks

Status when testing

Oil pressure @ 1000rpm (idle)

Oil pressure @ 2000rpm

Oil pressure @ 3000rpm

This is how the oil pressure should look on a 480 turbo.

How that helps.
