Oil pressure

Is the oil pressure supposed to be this high?

@1000 RPM


@ Idle (500 RPM)


Just wondering cause i notice it shoots up as the RPM goes up.

Re: Oil pressure

Looking at your temperature guage, I'm assuming you just started it and it's still cold? If thats the case, the oil pressure will be fairly high. I don't think your pressure is abnormally high.

Re: Oil pressure

i think your gauge might be off a little, thats even pretty high up there for it being cold. might be the oil sending unit is bad, or getting there.

Could high oil pressure be cause by having TOO much oil in the engine?
