Oil pressure poll

[TonyN]

ps the rebuild is only 5000 miles old!

So your motors on 5000miles, ours is 105,000miles! You should have better oil pressure!!!!!!!

oil pressure

Hi one of my 3Litre T/Ds is like your photo "TonyN" l was abit worried but not now the others are all very high, ie 1/2way past the middle to the 3/4 mark and "OLD" faithful my 2.4 with a whistling turbo is allmost touching the 3/4 mark even when fully warmed up.

Here are some pictures that I took today of my oil pressure.

The first two are after a 40min drive into work this morning on 6,500Km old oil. Picture 1 is at tickover picture 2 is at 2,000RPM

The second two pictures are after I changed the oil and genuine part oil filter this afternoon. As before the 1st (3rd) picture is at tickover and the second (4th) is at 2,000RPM. Hope this helps give an idea what it's like with old and new oil...
