I am trying to figure out what typical oil pressure is for idle, cruising, cold start up, and 5k+, and how fast your oil pressure builds after engine start range

so, in this manner, post this information on this thread...keep conversation to a minimum:


approx delay: 2seconds
(cold) Idle: 40psi
(warm) Idle: 30psi
Cruising: 60psi
5k+: 100+psi
gauge: stock

 

delay: the same
cold idle: 60
warm idle: a little below 30
cruising: around 60
5k+: between 60 and 120 on the gauge (probably close to 100)
gauge: stock
any rpm above idle when cold: gauge is almost pegged
i'm running 10/30 on a motor w/less than 10k. it might be a good idea to post what weight oil you're running since the above results are much different with heavier weights.

 

delay: same
cold idle: 60-70
warm idle: 40
5k: havent really looked over while at
gauge: stock
will go to 80 or above when cold with even slight throttle.
Using 10/30

 

approx delay: 1 seconds
(cold) Idle: 35psi (650rpms)
(warm) Idle: 30psi (950rpms)
Cruising: 70psi (2500 rpms)
5k+: 125psi
gauge: greddy 52mm in kg/cm2 (coverted to psi 1kg/cm2 = 14.5psi)
Oil - castrol 10/30

 

Delay 1 second
(cold) 50-60 (750rpms)
(warm) 25-30 (750-950rpms)
crusing: 65-70 (2500-2700rpms)
5k+ 120psi
gauge Defi D-gauge
oil = 20/50


I have noticed the stock gauge between 0-60 psi can read anywhere from 0-90psi...but this is most likely caused by the sender

 

Mine is the typical

cold - (never works when its cold)
warm - 30
cruising - between 40 and 60
heavy throttle - jumps to about 100

on a side note - i do have a new sender unit. The old one is a total pain to get to just from its position. About how hard a project would it be to put the new one in? Can I do this in my driveway?

 

cold 120
warm idle 30
cruising 60
engine 72k

20/50 oil

 

approx delay: 2seconds
(cold) Idle: 0psi
(warm) Idle: 0psi
Cruising: 0psi
5k+: 0+psi
gauge: stock

I've gotten tired of replacing sending units after 4+ years.
