8 Bar Oils pressure

[keastygtir]

Hi Guys

As per my build thread I stated the car last night. Everything seems well but the oil pressure was 8 bar and dropped a bit a running for few minutes.

Does this seem normal?

See what it is when the oil is at 90 degrees and the engine is warmed up properley, what oil are you running?

I turned it off after a few minutes because I wasn't sure it was right, so I thought I would check. I am using 15/40 recommended by opie for the running in oil.

That is why, the 15 part of 15/40 is the oil thickness when cold , 10/40 is stock . Let it warm right up and it will drop.
