Hi Guys


I have fitted a oil pressure gauge this weekend and i was just wondering what readings i should be getting on my classic terzo?

interested to know what you guys are getting on cold start, driving Hot and on idle?

im using 10/40 semi oil

Cheers

Although mine is a newage, i can't imagine there will be a great difference

Cold start - 7.5 bar

Warm idle - 3 bar (my car idles at 1050rpm though, when it was 750rpm it was 1.5 bar)

Warm driving - 5-6 bar

You should be getting just over 1Bar hot and about 850Rpm as a min, I would like to see about 1.2 to 1.4 Bar., mine when cols at 1K is 6 Bar and pressure relife at 7.2 Bar

Cool thanks fella's

Mine is reading around 7bar cold, and also just over 1 bar when hot idle, I haven't driven that far yet but seems but its changing readings when driving.. not really figured out a average reading yet....

around 2.1-2.2 bar hot idle is the normal pressure

+1 above,hot idle of 1-1.3 bar is low tbho[not an issue as such] but needs keeping an eye on.
Mine runs at factory idle point[850rpm] and sits at 40psi which is 2.7 bar.

Scadds: the search button is agreat invention, this has been asked and answered at least twice in the last 6 weeks

OK, enough of that.
My classic with forged 2.5 conversion runs the following,

Idle, 5bar cold, 3 bar hot
Driving, 7.5bar cold, 6bar hot.

Fully synthetic oil.

alcazar I did try searching about using oil pressure but could not find any definite answers??

Thanks for the replys, so how do I know when problems are starting to develop or more wear, when the pressure all go lower on hot idle?

Yip, hot idle at 850 RPM, 1 Bar is low, 1.2 is better
