oil pressure and temp
i have had some gauges fitted in my car but the oil temp never goes above 110F(even after a long hard drive) and the oil pressure sits at about 25psi (may go up slightly when driving)do these figures sound about right????.As far as i know they are all wired in correctly .any help would be a great

No !
My oil temp easily reaches 110 C that's 230 F
Pressure is low unless that's your hot idle value.
Are the sensors wired to the wrong gauges ?

cheers dunx. i run millers cfs 10w50 oil and have just fitted my defi guages.
it will get to 80 degrees in like 5mins.. really really quick.. it is fresh oil as i changed it at the weekend.. but to get from 80 to 90 degrees in normal off boost casual driving it takes another 10mins from there..most ive seen on the road this week with the odd blast here and there is 95 degrees.. havnt seen 100 yet and thats including a 10 mile run down the country lanes from baildon/ilkley to bingley thats driving hard too..
lol ive got the warning on the defis set to 115 degrees but i dont think i'll ever reach 110 degrees unless on track.. on the road it goes up to 95 then when you resume normal driving back to 90 or just slightly above.
and i thought i needed an oil cooler and uprated thermostat.. lol i'll probs lose power that way.
