I'm not sure if this has been asked before but I didn't get what i needed to know when i used the search..

my oil pressure goes to about 7kg when cold.. and when its warm it drops to about 4.. i know that is normal as it has always been like that..

now.. after i had an oil change .. motul 8100... while driving the oil would drop to 2.. and when i rev it goes to about 3 or 3.5 but on constant speed is 2 .. (usually 4) and at idle its about 1.5.

but when i turn off the engine and start it again... it goes back to normal.. as in .. idle at 2 , constant speed at 4.. n revving makes it goes to about 5-6..

what is wrong with it?? is it just the oil playing up or theres more to it?

i understand ... more load means more pressure ...

but mine sometimes idle at 1kg and at constant speed is around 2kg.. that is abit low... since I've driven this car for almost 3years now and it was never like this before. and when i turn off the engine .. and start again.. it goes back to idling at 3kg instantly.. and while driving at constant speed is about 4kg ..

Hey all, my R33, 96MDL does the same thing, when driving around town its like 3-4 and when idleing its newere between 2-1.5. I used cheaper oils before and have now gone to Mobil1 10-30.. Maybe try changing oil back to 15-50, Maybe its common in sum skylines, either dodge gauge or lazy oil pump, Plz let me know how you go as mine is the same. Cheers

there is some very good forums on here regarding what oil to use..everyone should read them.

as far as using 0-40 vis for 25det...i wouldn't

    • How much ya asking drunkan 
    • A few other things to round out the chassis mechanical checks. Diff is nice and full of new oil, pretty sure it is Castrol VMX (I run the same on Award's recommendation). I didn't pull the cover to check, but I'm 90% sure the diff centre is a nismo mechanical (old school, not the gt pro). Gearbox is also nice and full of fresh oil, not sure what it is but not redline. Tailshaft bearing looks OK and a tailshaft loop is in place
    • Front lower control arm is standard with new ball joints, tension rod looks like JJR spherical. Front upper control arm is standard with adjustable bushes in the outside end     Rear arms are all nismo, surprisingly all the bushes at either end look standard but in good condition Subframe has standard bushes with lock collars HICAS has a lock bar with standard ball joints at the hub end
    • Next, shocks/springs/swaybars It has Sydneykid valved Bilsteins with HKS pillow ball hats all round. Springs are Eibach race springs on adjustable height platforms, with helper springs in the rear to stop rattling. These are 250 all around but easy to change for something else if required. Swaybars are powdercoated blue but would be Selby's/Whiteline solid adjustables, 21mm rear and 24mm front. Bushes and links in good condition All in good condition, no sign of leaks/damage etc
    • yeah for sure.....remember to put your tools away at the end of each day kids!  Actually it has been kinda nice working on the car, lots of memories of good times. I can pretty much hear him telling me off for stuff still.
