DoogyRev Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Not saying that you're wrong doogyrev ............. just saying that I'm right lol Sound like were are saying the same thing then 1. Check you oil regularly 2. Note what your oil pressure is at certain speeds (in the same gear on the same gradient)..... if it differs... revisit point 1. 3. If all ok, Happy Zedding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtB Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 From the good book : NOTE: When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high At Idle speed oil pressure should be more than 14 psi At 2,000 revs oil pressure should be more than 43 psi [measured with the engine oil temperature at 80°C (176°F) i.e. warm engine] Cool some good info there. So whats regarded as a recommended max psi then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtB Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 After letting it settle, oil level seems good now, needed a bit over a litre of oil put in it (7500miles after last service). Took it for a run and the pressure seemed good Thanks for the help everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whats regarded as a recommended max psi then? no one knows AFAIK but I'd worry if it went off the scale when cold or stayed much above 60psi at 60 mph in 6th gear when warmed up .....
