Oil pressure gauge level???
What do you guys oil pressure gauge read when warm?
Mine seems to be stuck past the 5 bar mark.
Sometimes when i´ve been driving at high speed for a couple of hours it will drop as low as 1.5 when at idle, but only until the oil temp. drops, then the pressure goes back up.
Was wondering whether my oil preasure switch/feeler is broken. Would a new one give me some other readings on the gauge? Or is my readings ok? and where is the thing located on the engine?
Futhermore, i just switched oil to Mobil S 10W-40 due to a little lifter sound (previously running on Schell Helix 5W-40) and at first it seemed to do the trick, lifter sound gone, but when warm the noise is back. Should i go up to 15W-40?
thx in advance
