I just finished installing my oil temp & pressure gauges. What is the recommended limits for the warnings? Also, what should the "normal" readings be? I recall somone posting before, but I can't get the search function to work.

Btw, I'm also using a greddy oil block adapter.

Thanks,

For oil temp:
- Warmed up at about 80 degrees c
- Sustained driving at speeds to 100+ up hill I've never seen it about 110 c
- Auto-x doesn't ever get that hot 90 to 100 c
- Temp alarm is set at 120 c

For oil press:
- Before the car is warmed up it is mostly around 8
- Onced it's warm it is mostly at around 6
- At WOT once warmed up it gets to a bit above 8.5
- Low pressure alarm is set at 3

I never found much on S2KI or elsewhere, so I just went with the above.

 

Thanks for the info. I was reading about 90C on the commute into work this morning and thought it was a little high. Also, what is your unit of measure for the pressure?

 

My guess is "bar". (and I mean a guess, I don't know fer sure)

I think "bar" is from "barometric", meaning 1 atmosphere, or 14.7 PSI. So the alarm at 3 bar is about 45psi.
