  1. If your really worried drop the oil look for any little nastys and maybe even send a sample off to be analysed.

     

    This will tell you if you have any bearing/ring/piston wear that is more than the norm.

     

    Its probably just a dodgy sender. :D

    Would the car idle roughly if the oil press was at a dangerous level? What are the symptoms of low oil pressure?

    Any info = great help

    Cheers

  2. Normal.

     

    Oil tends to think out when it gets a little hot.

    It may also be your oil pressure sender playing funny buggers.

    Which oil are you using?

    I just bought the car 3 weeks ago, previous owner said it was castrol syn R (not sure of the vis.). Also said he changed the oil 2000 kms ago

    Just came home from work now and the gauge was basically reading 0. Turned the car off and switched it back on and it went back to 2.

  3. Hi All,

    Driving along today when i notised my oil pressure gauge was below 1 on the stock gauge at idle.

    As soon as got going again the gauge went up to its normall 4 postion. Usually at Idle the gauge reads around the 2 mark but if you leave the car ideling for extended periods of time it drops to ~1. Is this normal ?

    Cheers
