Oil Pressure
What is the psi per mark on the oil pressure gauge, also what is the max pressure?? I was wondering because I am running about the 4 at 3000 rpm. Is this good or low??

Read this thread. A rule of thumb is one bar per 1000 rpm, but that can vary depending upon oil temps and oil grades.

Ted,
We went around and around about oil pressure concerns in this thread: http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/Forum3/HTML/011924.html But, the bottom line is ... spec book for SCs and Carreras says approx. 4 bar at 5000 rpm. ------------------ Warren Hall 1973 911S Targa 1992 Dodge Dakota 5.2 4X4 parts hauler |

Thanks Guys, I had asked this question in a roundabout way at the bottom of another oil thread and didn't notice the answer.
