Re: Oil pressure

[63max426@xxxxxxxxx]

hi,

Same thing here.
Even the tech spec on the 426MW calls out something like min warm pressure is like 12psi.
I idle at around 60-75(cold) until hot, then it drops to around 25 (idling around 700- 800ish).
as soon as rpm starts to move my gauge quickly follows me up. steady state on the highway im around 55ish psi.

as ive understood it, that rule of 10 psi per 1000rpm seems to hold quite true.

i think youre fine but id still install a real gauge.

good luck

But anyway, running it goes up prolly about a centimeter or so on the gauge when hot. The car runs fine! I just wanna prevent damage and take care of it. It's never been rebuilt or anything but I don't have the money or time to get it rebuilt right now..
