Greddy Oil Cooler - Lower Oil Pressure

Only if your oil is low, but I’m assuming you topped that up during the install. How low is the pressure? I mean you could see a fractional pressure drop if the new pipe work is significantly longer than the old and the oil pump is worn, but I’m grasping at straws here. 
 

Really there should be no difference in pressure at all.

Thanks for your reply.

 

Oil level is fine. I am having issues with the oil pressure sensor (auto gauge aftermarket one). When warm idle it says nil but mechanic has confirmed it's fine and on 15 psi. I have changed the switch and sensor but the same. I just thought maybe the oil cooler would make it lower and sensor isn't accurate hence warning light comes on. 

 

It is intermittent to even register a reading so must be wiring or maybe the gauge itself.

 

Cheers

Cheap gauge, I've had cheap ones in the past & they never work properly. Gives a right scare when your oil pressure suddenly drops to zero and your 150 miles from home :lol:

 

Best off with a Defi/Greddy gauge, they are pricy but they work so well :)
