03 996 Oil pressure question
Hello,
This is my first post. The Oil pressure reading of our 03 996 C2 (3.6liter) is a little weird. When the car was idling, it was around 2.5bars on the oil gauge. When the car was cruising on the highway around 60mph, it was 5 bars. According to the owner's manual, @5000rpm it should be 3.5 bars. Should I be concerned about these readings? Just curious, what are the normal readings on the oil pressure gauge (idling and cruising)? |

Motul 5w40 I get 1 bar at idle when warm, at 5000 rpm-ish I get 4-4.5 bars. More RPM = more oil pressure.
Depending on the oil you run, I'd say you're fine. A |

Your oil pressure is going to be on the high side when you use a 0W-40 oil. Not to scare you or anything but you may want to do some reading about oil on the 911 BBS.
