Hi
What sort of oil pressure is acceptable for a 1988 3.2 Carrera at a Hot Tick over.(120000miles never rebuilt)
at Cold tick over it reads 2.5 to 3 Bar( engibne just started)
After a spirited drive and engine hot, at tick over 0.8 to 1 Bar , Oil light never flickers .
At about 4000 revs it has 4.5 Bar hot.
Oil recently chamged 15W -50 semi sythetic
Any body any views, what does others pressure run at, so i can compare.
I,ve read a number of blogs that its common for older porsche engines to have low oil pressure on tick over, and it does state in the manual that the oil light can flicker on tick over , as long as oil pressure rises when revs build
Do I need worry or should I rebuild
PS I,m quite new to Porsche Ownership, and loving it
thanks Dave
