I recently installed some gauges in my '96 9000 including oil pressure and temp. I've noticed that when the oil is cold the oil pressure will be over 10 bar, even at idle. (scale stops at 10 and it looks like the needle is almost at 15 bar sometimes). As soon as the oil heats up to 50-60 degree celcius, the pressure drops to about 6-8 Bar at idle.
When the engine is heated up (95-100 degrees celcius) the oil pressure at idle is around 1.5-2 bar and a hair less than 3 bar at 2000 RPM.
Oil is Mobil 1 5W-50.
Is it normal with 12-15 bar with cold oil?
