Re: 9000 V6 oil light concern Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 9000 V6 oil light concern, EverettDave ![]() |
The only data I can find is that the oil pressure reducer valve opens at 4.5 Bar (65 Psi) so that is the max pressure.
Picture below is for the 4 cyl engine specs but you can probably use that as a rule of thumbs and just add a little.
The oil pressure switch is really easy to get to when you have removed right/front wheel and the plastic fender lining.
The V6 has a fairly small pick up screen hole but the mesh is more coarse than the 4 cyl engines so I haven't seen any sludge build up, but it is a chance that someone have dabbled a lot of silicon sealer into the engine when attempting to seal valve cover gaskets and that the silicon has made it down to and into the screen?
Get an accurate reading of the oil presure and go from there.
