I know its not a true gauge of oil pressure, but I'd like to make sure my oil pressure indicator works "properly". I verified my pressure with a mechanical gauge several times, but the dash indicator has a life of its own.
The owners manual breaks down the "idle" region and the "cruise" region, but it doesn't say what, for example, a nice steady hot 90kph cruise level would be.
So where does your needle fall?
When very hot and idling, the needle is very low, maybe only 2mm above L. When hot and cruising, its a little over the 1/3 mark, usually just a hair above the white line at that point. (When cold it'll go all the way up to 3/4 of the gauge or more)
If that is anomalous, I'll replace the sender. So how do all of yours work?
