Oil pressure gauge range
Any of you that have installed an aftermarket oil pressure gauge, what range did you use and or what range do you normally see?
|
15-20 idle, 60 cruising, 70 WOT
|
depends on your oil viscosity.

18 or so at idle, 55-60 on the highway, 70 WOT. My oil press also drops with the A/C on

Plus the lighter the oil the more efficiently it ferries heat from the engine to the coolers.

After finding what I did I am leaning HEAVILY, no pun intended, on staying with 5-20 or 5-30 oil. The specs call for clearances in the range of .0022"-.0029" for the e-shaft bearings and .0024"-.0030" for the rotor bearings. Those are pretty tight specs and my mains range from .0021-.0028 with my rotors ranging from .0021-.0025. I also used 5-20 99% of the time and even with 49K miles I have no bearing wear or scuffing and all of the other wear parts are still at 90%. Remember, I have hammered this car pretty good over the past three years with most of the abuse coming in the first year. The last two I babied it a bit too much.
