Oil pressure B18C7

[Karl]

Just installed my Oil pressure gauge. And im seem to be getting alot lower number then whats stated in "Oil Pressure levels for K20 - need for baffled sump? ". Im getting 15 psi at idle and 65 Psi at 3 G and a max of 75 which is produced from 5000-8000 Revs. At operating temp

Now i did read the manual that states at idle must be 10 psi or more. And 50 psi or more at 3000 rpm. but are these figures still alarming on a b18c7??

Also im running 5w-30. just did a service today and level is checked servrel times.

perfect mate!

my B20 goes to 75-80psi above 5000rpm

keep up the regular servicing

(most of the 'figures' in the other thread are rubbish - pay no attention to them! except the ones I posted!)

sweet and i was worried.. thanks

[tinkerbell]

Oil filter sandwich plate.

Figures sound good. Baffled sump is not going to make any difference to pressures. Unless your loosing pressure around corners due to oil being sloshed up against the wall and oil pick up is not picking oil up.

Yer i no. still want a baffle plate though.
