hi lads jus after puttin in a sandwich plate and serviced the scooby also wired up a oil pressure gauge there now not fully finished yet but im gettin a mad reading of 7bar pressure it has a high pressure oil pump in it but i think its still a little high jus wondering wat sort of readin some of the lads have wit there gauges thanks
 
When i had 15w-50 oil in my engine, On cold startup it was on 7 bar while driving along at 100kms it held at 7 bar, warm idle was 4.5bar. I also have an uprated oil pump :thumbsup:
 
depending on viscosity of oil etc it will drop once car hits full operational temperatures
 
As above, 7BAR would be normal when cold or heavy driving.

Should be about half that at idle and when warmed up.
 
jus have to tidy it up in the morning didn drive it yet jus started it and it was readin 7bar will know 2moro if it drops when drivin
 
It will drop once the oil is warm (because it is thinner hence less pressure)

You should also see it drop slightly between gear changes.
