Oil Pressure + Console Box

[LordSQra]

Hi,

I have recently changed oil in my zed ( 08 plate ). The previous owner was running on Mobil 1 0w-40 ( and me also on it for about 7 months ) and I never have noticed or maybe I just can't remember it now, the oil pressure on a gauge was never as high as it is now.

I have put in Motul 5w-30 after I read on the forum that it was recommended by ZMANALEX, and my PSI reading straight after the engine starts is ~120PSI, then it drops a bit I'd say around ~90PSI on idle and then goes up to ~120PSI with ~2.5-3k rpm, what seems to be a bit too high, then I shift up to lower the pressure.

When the engine is warmed up properly and car have been driven for 5-10min, on idle shows 30PSI and goes up to 120PSI around 4.5-5k rpm, so it's still a bit too high with that rpm.

I'm afraid now to press my foot down because the pressure is high and I feel it might go over 120PSI when hits more rpm.

Could you tell me what is your oil gauge reading ? and if I should be worried and need to go back to Mobil 1 0w-40 ?

I hope that this is normal and I didn't damage or blow up anything in the engine.

I also read somewhere that the wrong tightening torque may be the problem because if it's wrong, it may send a bad reading to the gauge, is that true ?

I also have a question about console box removal, I can't find any tutorial for my model only one for zeds with an ashtray in the console. Does anyone know how to take it out ? I can't see any screws but when I try to take it out, something stops it inside so it is impossible to take it out easily, and I am afraid that If I pull harder I may break it.

Thank you guys for your help in advance / Damian

As long as the gauge is somewhere between zero and whatever the max is, and you've checked the oil level is correct in the engine, it'll be fine.

Your numbers are all good:

 

As Dan has said, just keep an eye on the dipstick.
