r32 oil pressure guage should be at...

[ScarifieR]

hey

when i did an oil change today

i thought id notice where the oil pressure guage sat on the dash

i remember before it was over a qtr

cause it gos 0 qtr 4 qtr 8

after i dumped the oil

i started it up and it went to 4

once it got warm tho it sat at qtr for goin full on

and just above 0 when idle

i turned off the car after goin to my gf's then we went out 30 mins later

and it sat between qtr and 4 the whole time (not driving hard)

and its like that now

the oil i used before was pennzoil gt semi synth 10-40 and it would of had mixed in some valvoline xld 20-50 shit that the stupid mechanics put in before i got my car (he said ooh its turbo rated its fine we cant afford better stuff and they do all this yards cars once imported)

when i did the first change i noticed it idled way better and ran smoother

with this new batch of oil its the same but i didnt take notice of the oil pressure till now

the new oil is shell helix eco10 10-30 semi synth

just need some advice thats all

my 32 had probs with the pressure guage too. Apparently its quite common for the sender unit to play up. The sender is just behind the oil filter (towards the firewall. Changed mine for an autometer and new sender just for peace-of-mind.
