ROY0147 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I have just bought a 2005 convertible with 100,000 on the clock and in good condition. For the first mile the oil pressure will show 70psi when accelerating and 35 on tickover. These figures drop to 60 and 25 with hot oil and I wondered if that was as expected? There are no bad noises coming from the engine and it does seem to go quite well. Any comments or other suggestions will be welcome. Thanks, Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Hot oil is thinner so a drop in pressure it totally normal. Those figures seem perfectly fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
