That's a very good point! If I was to chase every strange little noise my car makes, I wouldn't have much time left.

Surely Oil pressure Hot and Cold depends on the age and thickness of the oil ie, 10/40 will have a lower hot and cold pressure than a 15/50?

Today my car starts up at 4 then just keeps creeping up to between 6-7 is this anything to worry about? :? normally it starts at 4 then goes down to 3 then moves up when i boot it!

just to update you the oil pressure seems to be back to normal now, i usually start the car up in the morning and let it warm up for a few mins before setting off but i had the missus with me for the last two days and she wasnt willing for me to wait so as a result the pressure stays high on the gauge. :-D
