hey guys, ive noticed that my defi oil pressure gauge shows idle pressure of ~150kpa and max pressure ~600kpa, the needle seems to rise to just under 6 and then 'bounce' back a little. the gauge calibrates ok so i think it is accurate, but just wondering if u guys have the same experience? ..and why does it 'bounce' back? is there a cap on peak pressure? sorry for mechanical noobiness of this question

What you are saying seems normal from what i've read and in line with what others experience.

I know that this is almost a year old thread but I have a relevant question
Would idling at 150kPa/21.8PSI be normal? I had worries as the pre-set low oil pressure warning on the defi was set at 150kPa and it would occasionally beep.. (I have obviously had this warning changed to 120kPa) I do realise that oil pressures will differ from car to car but having the car idling on a "standard" low oil pressure wasn't very pleasant...
What would a dangerous oil pressure level be?Wakefield 1:14.5640 - DC2R

Max Oil Press would be just a little under 600kPa/87PSI.. which seems normal and healthy...
Only the idling has got me a little worried.. It would only dip under 150kPa/22PSI when the engine has been running for at least 20 minutes and the oil temps are hovering around 95 degrees C.Wakefield 1:14.5640 - DC2R
