manphibian Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hi chaps I had the car serviced at the weekend, fully synthetic oil used, and i think the oil pressure is higher than normal now :/ This video is at operating temp after a 20 minute drive... Is it high? :/ Quote
planetsurfer2 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Did you have any oil in your engine before the service? Quote
Neilp Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 looks fine, maybe a tad high. What grade oil did you use and what filter? Quote
Daryl Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hi chaps I had the car serviced at the weekend, fully synthetic oil used, and i think the oil pressure is higher than normal now :/ This video is at operating temp after a 20 minute drive... Is it high? :/ Id say its a little higher than normal yes,but cant suggest the cause or if any issues will result im afraid. Quote
DannyBoy Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Idling pressure seems a tiny bit high maybe, but basically normal. My oil pressure never really goes over about 90 though even at redline and yours seems to almost top out. That could be mine that's broken though rather than yours DB Quote
manphibian Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 It tops out at 120 at the redline. :/ I'm ashamed to say i didn't specify a grade of oil, and didn't ask, just said fully synthetic :/ He's a good mechanic though, not a monkey, so i would say it would be the right grade, i'll check tomorrow though...

350 Russ Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Idle does seem a bit high, mine goes off the gauge at redline aswell Quote
Zugara Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Sure there was a post the other day with same issues. Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Maybe they just put in 10W40 and not 5W30, no big deal i run mine on 10W40. Quote
