Those figures are similar to the car's that come into my shop. I remember noticing how high the oil pressure can be when cold, important to allow some temperature to build before driving, much as with our race cars with dry sump systems.

Hi guys,

I've just got my 94 456GT 6-speed for 10 days.
Just wonder if this is normal on the oil temp. & pressure.

Cold engine -- 1/10 on Oil temp and 8/10 on Oil pressure when idle

Hot engine(30-60 minutes moderate drive)
--- 1/4 Oil temp. and 5/10 on Oil pressure when idle

I think it should be similar to most of the other V12 engines (TR, 550 etc).
