[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064324452, member: 2429"] The oil pressure 2bar (29psi) is too high for idle la. It's probably ideal at 20psi or 18psi max. That's about 1 bar to 1.3bar. 0.8 bar is a little low but what engine oil are you using? Different weight and type of engine oil will affect your oil pressure as well. This has nothing to do with your fuel pressure so you fuel pump shouldn't be affected. Your oil pump is essentially a couple of propellers that's rotated by the engine itself to pump the oil around the engine. There are only two possibilities : - oil pump is jammed or damaged (runs slower) - Engine oil weight is too light. In which case you don't have a problem. Do you have any leaks? Also, how accurate is the meter? [/QUOTE]
