992 Oil Pressure

[glenn911C4S]

Can any owners of a new 992 tell me what their hot readings are at idle and when driving please?

[cymro1949]

My oil pressure is 1.5 bar on idle.

1.3 bar, idle.
1.7 - 2.3 bar, normal driving.
4.6 bar, accelerating.
(Oil temp 104)

Do I win?

Same sort of thing ....1.4/1.5 bar, idle.
1.9- 2.2 bar, normal driving. More on heavy load but I don't tend to look at oil pressure when gunning it .

running for about 3 hours on motor way ~70mph ...107C .....2.0 bar when stable on the cruise and not changing speed

Mine has now got ~2500 miles, last 2K added in quick holiday in Scotland . Engine and gearbox definitely feels better now .

Is there a knocking noise from the engine then?

Hi, the oil pressure on 992 is managed to specific levels it will seem low but all the internal pumps are designed to lubricate at a lower pressure when the engine is not loaded. This reduces emissions due to engine power and keeps Porsche under EU6 regulations. There is nothing wrong with your engine and getting the pressure over 3-4 Bar even when at full power takes some doing. It’s all good it’s designed to have a managed pressure system 👍
