Normal Oil pressure in Bars?
Hi-
I have a V6 and just got the oil changed for the first time (1000 mi). What is the normal pressure in bars? Thanks |

At idle, something around 4 bar give or take. One bar is 14.5PSI, and normal for the LFX engine is in the ~60PSI range.

LLT:
1.2 bar at hot idle... 3 to 3.5 bar at 1500 rpm when hot...I don't know if the LFX is higher... Sent from my bragging iPhone using an app that encourages it. |

That seems kind of high. Are you using 5W-30? And is the oil up to at least 200 degrees F (93*C) when you're seeing this? Sent from my bragging iPhone using an app that encourages it. |

The V6 does run high, but not that high. At least mine doesn't on Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30. Tonight, oil at about 220 degrees, idle was 15 psi, 45 psi at 1500 rpm. "Off the charts" at 6500 rpm. Lol! [  Pic from a while ago. Don't know why i took it but it works! Haha Sent from my bragging iPhone using an app that encourages it. |
