matthewwatkiss Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I have an 1800cc Raceline Zetec in my Caterham. It has 2 litre cams and runs Syner G fully synth. The oil pressure seems to always be a tad below the red line in while running. To me it seems high, but I may be worrying about nothing as all seems well with the engine. Does anybody have any experience to sugest if this is cause for concern or just the norm. Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julians Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 My 2.0 zetec oil pressure is about 4 to 4.5 bar at >3000rpm (Engine hot), never below 3.5bar at idle. It goes up to around 6 bar when its cold, but thats normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Turner Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 2 litre Zetec running on 5w/30 Ford spec oil, non Caterham mechanical gauge, shows 65 psi (4.5 bar) @ 70 mph cruise (3800 rpm) and 30 psi (2 bar) at idle. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
