Had the pressure test done today by a professional. Finding a good place to take an oil pressure reading did not seem easy. Access to the stock oil sensor hole was apparently tight from the top or the bottom, so they decided to do it at the turbo oil line. Seems like a good idea, given my turbo seal failure one year ago.
Access was from underneath while on a lift, and the mechanic took his time getting everything back together.
Oil pressure measured 50 psi at 2000 rpm. Spec is 40 psi. Was told that engines with serious problems measured in the same shop were around 20, or showed pressure dropping slowly over time as deposits get stirred up. Low oil pressure indicator supposed to light up between 4.5 and 7.5 psi.
