skifreek Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I am fairly new to my zed and what I know about engines you can fit on very small postage stamp. I have noticed that when I start my car the oil pressure idles at about 60-70. It is only after I have been driving for a bit that then idles at about 30. Is this normal, I have checked the oil levels and they seem good. If any of you clever petrol heads could let me know what I should expect the pressure to do I would be grateful.

monkfish Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yep me too. Sits low when warm and idling, but the general consensus is that it's normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yes - I had the same question when I was fairly new to my car too. Its perfectly normal, just make sure you dont give it too much right foot before its warmed up (you will see the pressure go off the scale if you do).

skifreek Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Cheers All, I am now feeling a little calmer And whilst the urge to use the right foot hard and fast comes as soon as I get in the car so far I have managed to curbe my enthusiasm till the temperature gauge gives me the go ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_350z Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 its a collection of Z nutters in the south east. We were accused of being mafia because on our last run out we caused a bit of mayhem, including Pingu2 nearly coming to blows with a 4x4 driver (until the 4x4 driver saw the rest of the Zs pull up - that's right MoFo, keep walking!)... oh, and Captint is a boxer these days (although he claims to be on a loser, as he's getting fatter and now people are hitting him ) sl114 was trying to arrange another meet. We usually congregate @ the Reading JapFest every month. Captint, Mugwump, Hanel (where is he?), H5 usual suspects. There's more down here tho - that nutter Zedrush for one !
