[TR] TR3A Oil pressure

John,
Sounds very normal at full operating temps, I use 20-50 with about the same
pressure in my new re-build with 3,000 miles.

Subject: [TR] TR3A Oil pressure

Over the weekend I did my annual oil & filter change on the 60 TR3A.  I
decided to try some Mobil-1 15w50.  I have a bunch of it as I use in in my
old 911.

I was driving into work this morning in the TR & I noticed the oil pressure
was about 60 psi as cruise RPM, with the engine temp at a normal 180F and
outside air temp about 35F.  (Life is really tough in Florida).

I was just wondering if 60psi was normal in this conditions?

Thanks

John
