Centre Gauges help Please.

Hi Guys.

When driving, what should the 3 centre gauges be reading.

Battery, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure.

Regards.

Assuming you have a VXR8...

Voltage : depends how much charge the battery has. Anything from low 12s to high 14s if it is charging

Oil temp : when the engine is warm, mine sits about 100 deg. 125 with extended periods of hard driving

Pressure: when oil is warm approx 3bar with some revs - less at idle.

Sorry yes, VXR8.

Thanks for the quick reply.

What Mik said ... although my battery gauge often has fits and sits at 16 or down at 6 o'clock - any longish periods in fifth gear (the one for speed not cruise) can take the oil temps up to 130 but nothing to worry about and yes pressure normally between 3 and 4 bar
