I would like to know where your factory oil pressure gauge sits at (SXE10 models only)
- Idle - warm
- Idle - cold
- 3000 RPM
- 6000+ RPM
The reason for this is a guy on another forum was worried as he'd noticed his oil pressure dropping off above 6K. I'd never taken much notice at those revs as my eyes are on the road. I finally got a chance to have a look a few weeks ago on a trip up north. Opened her up in 3rd overtaking a few times & noticed the same thing. I can only assume this is normal & has something to do with VVTi, but am interested to see what readings others are getting.
You may want to state what oil you're using to but from other threads it would seem the majority of us are running Castrol Edge 5w30.
*Please be careful when/if you attempt to check 6K+my results* 2 notches below 1/2 way
* 2 above 1/2 way
* 2-3 below top
* 1-2 above 1/2 way
