89CAL Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I use motul 8100 x-cess and oil pressure is always ok. mine sits below halfway when warm on idle I traialed some Castrol edge 10w40 i think it was but oil pressure was way to high on a cold day when i first started the car so switched back to motul Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/383092-low-oil-pressure-when-warm-on-idle/#findComment-6110737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodles2 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge in, relying on the stock gauge will just give you a headache and might waste money when other oils just indicate the exact same thing on it.
