oil pressure in bars??

[rory d]

i own a 86 350i, with 88,000 on the clock, does any one now the figure in bars of pressure that my car should have on tickover hot and cold?????

I'd exoect anything from 15 psi (1 bar) hot, up to maybe 45 psi (3 bar) cold. But it varies enourmously with engine temperature and oil type, as well as engine condition. Less than 1 bar I'd start to get concerned, although a very hot engine with a low tickover may be in that sort of region.
