Probably been covered before, but I'm interested to know....

What do your gauges sit at at cold start up? Then when normal temperature is reached what does it sit at? ie. idling in traffic?

Mine on cold startup sits just over 4 then when idling in traffic is just slightly over the 1st quarter on the gauge.

This could make an interesting little poll....

Ev.

RB26DETT here:

Sits on 4 ish when cold. When it heats up it sits on 2 ish. If drive it hard, with some full throttle etc, it drops right down to 1 or below.

As the oil heats up the pressure should drop. Changes will vary between oils, a low viscosity at hot oil (ie: 5w/30 or 10w/40) will have a lower pressure than a higher viscosity at hot oil (ie: 5w/50 or 10w/60). The second number refers to the oils hot temp weight.

I have found that it reads different depending on the oil level, if I have over filled it a bit, it reads higher than normal until hot, if its a bit under it reads just a bit lower, when hot as well. it reads alot higher for the same amount of less does.

Anyone think mine is too high?

cold 8 bar,

warmed up 4

driving hard between 3-4

Oil - Mobil 1... forget viscosity of it...something like 10-50 or 5-50..

About the same as mine.

When its cold, its just under 8 bar tho.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
