I need some help here I'm tring to figure something out.
I installed my new Autometer Oil Pressure Meter last night... I hooked it up to the new sending unit and installed the sending unit in the OEM sending unit's spot. Once all said and done I started the car and it showed nothing.... So this morning I was on my way to work and it started to move and once the car was warm when at idel it looked like 30 but when I was going down the road at 3000-3500RPM it sits at like 100... I fell this is too mcuh but I dont' know much about other people's pressure numbers. Let me know. |

Too much oil pressure can be a bad thing. Excessivce oil pressure can damage the seals on a turbo. Excessive oil pressure can ruin the ol pump if you have the new style with helical cut gears. Side note it also robs you of some power.
100 psi is on the high side, but I think we get around 75 to 80 psi -------------------- |
