Roger Chatfield 13 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) I've noticed a strange thing with my oil pressure.Sometimes when I start the car from cold I've noticed that the oil pressure shoots up high, 8-9 bar, it'll stay like that until I slightly 'blip' the engine it then drops to normal cold idle level (about 4 bar)Anyone have any idea whats going on??Rog.

Roger Chatfield 13 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Turn the key and car starts, pressure goes to 8-9 bar, if I give it a little 'blip' pressure drops to 4 bar. Hope that makes sense. Rog. Link to post Share on other sites
MJ Vr6 79 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 When you turn key, S'pose to be high as cold start is on, will settle lower when cold start switches off dude.I cannot remember the PSI values on Oil temp, can get back to you on that. Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I may be wrong but I think mine was about 70-90 psi on cold start. That's from memory and it's been a while lol MJ Vr6 1 Link to post Share on other sites
