Hi all,

Just done a search on oil pressure and couldn't find what i was after. What level should a 4.2 be at when up to temperature?

Cheers,

Ed

Don't know if the 4.5 are the same but mine runs at about 80 under load and 45 on tick over smile

Mine is round about 50 when warm on tick over but never seems to vary a great deal. Was wondering if gauge was reading as it should. How else can you test oil pressure other than the gauge in the car?

Post rebuild my pressures have changed slightly. Now circa 45 at hot idle and anyting up to 60 at full load. Hot idle sometimes drops down as low as 35, but thats very rare (on a hot day/after hard driving).
