oil pressure at idle Fao Clint

[costina]

ok oil pressure at idle 24 psi hot seems a little low to me

Now could this b the answer its a 4wd lup with a 2wd sump and i know there are differnces with the oil pumps as th 4x4 sits a little lower

SO would the pickup pipe that sits lower cause low pressure due to not enough flow?

cheers for any ideas or input you have oil is fresh 15/50 mobil and gen filter and oil feed for turbo comes from oil pressure t piece as 2wd head is blocked off

24psi hot idle sounds perfectly fine to me, it's the oil pressure at 2000 / 3000 rpm you need to be concerned with IMO.

i'd agree with hot oil 24 psi at idle is plenty enough

I had more with my old 2wd engine which had 110k on it hot idle was around 30psi,really wanted the info on pumps and sumps if possible but if you guys thinks thats ok that will do

cheers
