Oil Pressure Conversion

[tek_01]

hey fellas just been looking at my oil pressure gauge and it is sitting between 0-2 when im idling

this i assume is 1kg/cm2 of pressure which equals 14.2 psi of pressure

am i correct in saying this?

also i have read that sometimes the gauges/senders can go faulty and is better to get an aftermarket one etc etc but just curious to see

what is the normal psi idle range for a 33gtst? and also what it should go up to (mine goes up to about 4 on high revs but sits usually around 2.5-3 when driving normally

any info appreciated

ps; heres a conversion table that i used

hey man, sounds like your guage is working fine, mine sits at the exact same levels as yours when idling and driving.

ok coz i was worried with it being so close to 0 on idle and stuff...

Hey tek 1, yeah mine reads usually 2 or just under sometimes. due to the hot weather in sydney oil pressure went to the same as yours between 0 and 2. aslong as its not staying on 2 when your driving it and its not on zero then ur sweet. On idle only a small amount of pressure is needed but when driving yeah has to increase.
