About pegged oil-pressure and oil-temp almost off the bottom:

For quite a long time I've been reading about SC guys having problems with high oil temps and bad engine pressure...and i can't help wondering what they are talking about??

I cannot get oil-temp gauge much further that that on the pic...and pic was taken after 30-min drive @ ~75 mph so oil wasn't cold...outside temp was near-freezing tough so it probably cooled oil. When i drive in town, second thermostat opens and i can hear oil sloshing in the front oil-cooler, but oil-temp gauge rarely moves much more than one mm over first bar...

Here's my thread about oil-temp gauge in 930:

(Accidentaly one of my first posts on the BBS), and conclusion was that 930's always run cool unless driven hard. Or is my primary oil-thermostat busted?

I always get full oil-pressure over 3000 RPM...if oil is really warm i get 3 bar @ idle and that's lowest i can get. Wheel is pointing slightly to the left since they changed one front strut ... i need to realign them i think.

P.S.
