just chanaged oil but pressure seems a bit high...

[titcharoony]

Just changed oil and everythings hunky dory, but the pressure seems higher than it used to be. Its about 4bar at 70mph in fifth. bit high? temps about 80...

[Rich]

first time i've heard anyone complain about high oil pressure!

[titcharoony]

not complaining

[titcharoony]

just wanted to kno whats normal

[Rich]

its a very variable figure but book figures are 3bar at 3krevs iirc (when warm obviously) usually it can be owt between 4-6k from cold (at idle) and can idle when warm at anything from 1 bar down to showing 0 on the guage. my old valver used to see about 4-5 bar max when giving it some serious stick but never had any knocking issues

[titcharoony]

well at 60mph (think thats 3k) its dead on 3 which is good.

[Rich]

i agree mate, seems very healthy. lots of things can affect it though like the oil filter, oil used ect. but seems good

What oil did you use? 5w40? 10w40?

If you used a 10w50 or something then it'll be thicker when hot, therefore might give higher pressures

[titcharoony]

ten 40 i tihnk....

[Oszy]

bigger is better
