Re: Oil pressure (score: 1): Author: David Councill <dcouncil@cu.comp-unltd.com>; Date: Fri, 5 Jul 1996 08:27:18 -0600 (MDT); I would have to disagree with Ulix on this - at least on the oil pressure of 10-12. I would be alarmed with that kind of pressure. I prefer a minimum of 40 psi at idle with 60-70 psi running. (this e; /html/mgs/1996-07/msg00242.html (8,384 bytes)
