Oil Pressure ????

[philblumenfeld]

I have installed a digital oil pressure guage on my 2012 RT-L.
My question is: What are the numbers I should be looking for ie: highs and lows.
Thanks in advance to all who reply.

I do not know if numbers are published. Am guessing that a "normal" area will pop up every time you operate the :spyder2:. Deviation from that, would indicate an issue. Similar to the number of bars or place on the dial for the temperature.

Some run a little hotter than others--but maintain a "normal" range.

I will keep watching for actual numbers posted here. There are some very good mechanical persons who will have that information.

I have had a top quality gauge installed on my 2012 RT since the month after I bought it.

Over 30,000 miles of driving my gauge registers between 55-60 psi at cruising speed and that is between 4,000 and 5,500 rpm.

At idle (1350 rpm) when hot it rides at 20 psi.

Range....

on a 2012 RS....998 cc engine....
1400 Rpm's
Min....10 psi
Normal....22psi
Max....43.5psi

5000 Rpm's
Min....51psi
Normal....61psi
Max....80psi

Should be the same for yours...:thumbup:

A good rule of thumb that we always used is 10psi per 1000rpms minimum.

That is a good, solid oil pressure in ANY roadgoing engine.

That is a lot higher than the 1330
900 rpm =8.7 psi
4000rpm = 58 psi
I have a digital gauge [but it was a cheap one]
It reads 45 psi at 4000 rpm [this is what it was brand new]
and 2 psi at 900 rpm
I use it as a reference point
The idiot light is set at 2psi-5psi
go figure
