Oil pressure and temp

[glanza97]

Hello, I have oil pressure and temp gauges from prosport that allow you to set a warning when the pressure and temp hits a certain value...

can anyone tell me what would be considered too low oil pressure and too high oil temp so i can set these warnings? Thankyou

As a rule of thumb they say as a minimum u should have at least 10psi of oil pressure for every 1000rpm. Oil temps i cant help you.

I would look for atleast 1 bar on idle.
Oil temps... It varies depending on what oil your using.

oil pressure should be between .8 and 1bar ish @1k rpm idle, i would set the warning at 0.5bar, oil pressure should be between 3 and 4 bar @3k rpm

the oil temp warning should come in around 115 degrees centigrade, most oils lose viscosity and sludge up @ 120 degrees centigrade, generally hot oil temps should be between 90 and 110 degrees.
