Oil Pressure

[ZedJohn]

After a bit of help guys - my oil pressure seems a bit erratic - where should it be on the scale?

 

I took this yesterday at Bedford. It stays at this level at idle but picks up to just after half way when I'm driving it.

 

I've let the engine cool and the oil level is smack in the middle of the dipstick (cleaned and checked again).

 

Any guidance greatfully received!

Without checking mine I cant say what is is at idle but when driving about (approx 3000rpm) its about 100 psi when cold and 70 when warm so I think what you are seeing is normal.

I'll second that. About 15 - 20 when hot at idle and mid way ish from about 2000 rpm upwards.

Thanks for the reassurance guys

These are the Nissan figures for engine oil pressure at an engine oil temperature at 80°C (176°F)]

 

 

Pressure measured in kPa (kg/cm2 , psi)

 

Idle speed More than 98 (1.0, 14)

 

2,000 rpm More than 294 (3.0, 43)

 

so yours seems to be

Thank you Mr Attak!
