    Has anyone got a table showing what oil pressure the car should be running under load when hot?

    I recorded a Tipo USA F40's oil pressure as follows:

    Cold startup - @ 80 lb/in

    Fully warmed on full boost - @ oil pressure peaked at about 110 lb/in

    Fully warmed idle - @ 40 lb/in

    Assuming the oil pressure gauge was working correctly, hope this helps.

    Thanks

    The idle 40lb (2.75bar) is basically what I get
    but flat out in 3rd I'm hitting >9 bar (135lb) which is higher than I remember
