Title: Oil pressure guages......
Post by: Lee.C on August 31, 2008, 23:09:28 pm
Just a quick question guys..... What oil pressure guages do you use  ???

You see I have a 70psi and a 150psi and I am wondering which one to use :-\ The 70psi guage reads in 10psi intervals,  The 150psi guages reads in 15psi intervals until it gets to 90 and tops out at 150 with a couple of marks inbetween - which would you use  ??? :)

I think a 70psi/5bar is enough and more accurate than a 150psi.  ;)

The 70psi will go off the scale when you start your engine from cold and if the engine is built right, you'll see approx 10psi for every 1000rpm – but I agree, the 150psi one is a bit inaccurate, if that actually matters.

Cool thanks for the info guys  :) I am not too worried about watchin the oil pressure guage, its just nice to know.

My Dad always said "if the light is out then you have enough oil pressure"  ;) :)
