Post subject: | Oil Temp and Pressure |
Yesterday i was pottering about in the car. It was 37 or so degree day and (when my guages were working) the oil pressure was a bit lower than it normally is during acceleration and Alot lower than normal while idling. I put some more oil in and that seemed to help (but not much) ![]() on lookin at it again i think the red idle was a bit lower than that.. It was fine today, but i checked the oil and i had wwwwwaaaaayyy too much in there... like a couple of centimetres above max.. ![]() Yes I remember my year 9 physics and i know temp and pressure are related, and that the oil will thin out when it gets hot, but i was wanting to know if this is anything to worry about? |

i've been meaning to do it for a few weeks now (not that it gets driven too much), is the guage action worrying? |
