Oil Pressure
Evening people, need you advice/confirmation
I have just this afternoon fitted a sandwich plate and an oil pressure gauge, my understanding is that normal pressure is 4-5 bar at the oem oil pressure point, my gauge is reading a steady 7 at the filter where the sender is installed. This reading was at idle by the way.
Can you tell me the normal oil pressure reading at the filter? am I getting a correct reading?

cold idle 6-7bar
Hot idle 2-3bar
hot cruise 6-7bar

Used the scoob for work this morning and the gauge ranged from 7 bar at cold start up to 3 bar at warm idle in traffic to 6-7 bar with a little bit of pedal coming off a roundabout so I guess I am getting the right readings.
Cheers for the help guys, I guess I just needed my mind putting at rest.
