Oil pressure - or lack thereof

[BuzLightyear]

I only bought my r32 two weeks ago, and am running it on Castrol R (5w30) - just like the good book done told me to. After the motor is hot, my oil pressure gauge at idle (600rpm) is showing zero - zip, nought, nuffink.

If I turn the engine off, the gauge doesn't even dip further. I haven't had a red oil light and the car is running fine.

Is this stuff just too thin or wot?

it could very well be a faulty sender or gauge its a common fault

0 oil pressure = dead engine

if your engine is running fine it is fair to assume that its a faulty guage. if your worried about it install an aftermarket one, chances are its just a guage fault. afterall its only the std guage
