Just out of curioisty, what is a normal oil pressure reading on a TIPO 209 ad idle and under load. When first started, my pressure sits int he middle of the gauge, once warmed, it drops back over to the left side closer to the 0 but in between 0 and 5. Under load, or normal driving conditiosn, the needle hangs out right int he middle of the gauge. Although, when cold it goes above 5 until warm then comes back. I am sure it is int he manaul somewhere, was just curious if anyone had any idea.
oil viscosity changes with temperature, oil pressure changes with the viscosity of oil... good reason to use multi viscosity oil as it levels out oil pressure as it moves through viscosities and temperature... high oil pressure is not always a good sign of proper lubrication, as low pressure may not always be a sign of poor lubrication... oil pressure shows how hard the oil pump is working at trying to move oil in the engine...
