just plumbed 13 row oil cooler and oil pressure is 6 bar with revs and 3 bar on tickover yet before cooler fitted it was running 7 bar with revs and 3 bar on tickover so could someone tell me if its ok
cheers jim

 

It would seem reasonable that the cooler and pipework (if its like mine there is a fair length of hose) will increase pressure drop around the system so you measure a lower pressure at the oil galleries. This will be more noticeable at higher flows (with revs). 6 bar with revs and 3 bar idle (presume hot) is pretty good pressure anyway.

 

Nowt wrong with that pressure. Virtually the same as what mine runs, assuming yours is hot pressure.

 

thanks everyone nothing to worry about then
