1. Oil Pressure-Cause for concern??? (score: 1): Author: "Greg Gowins" <cartman@dnai.com>; Date: Fri, 22 Oct 1999 09:29:26 -0700; Hello all, After reading many messages here on the list, I'm getting a bit worried about the oil pressure situation in my Sprite. I've never really worried about it too much. I have a 1275 and I put; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01470.html (8,724 bytes)

My 1275 has been completely rebuilt, and at startup, I have about 80-90lbs pressure at idle, after the engine is 'hot' it settles down to around 40lbs at; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01477.html (8,794 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: "Andy Webster" <trunkie@hotmail.com>; Date: Sat, 23 Oct 1999 07:14:24 GMT; At the moment I'm using 20w-50 GTX2 just for running in, but once 500 miles is up I'm switching to penrite HPR 30 which is 20W-60. For worn engines HPR 50(40w-70) is good and HPR40 is in between at; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01503.html (9,173 bytes)

Several of the service guides and the original glovebox manual recommend 20W50 (as I recall) in normal weather for the 1275 Midget. I've aso gottn; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01511.html (8,943 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Jeff Boatright <jboatri@emory.edu>; Date: Sat, 23 Oct 1999 13:42:15 -0400; Now this makes me wonder - What are we measuring when we measure oil pressure? Why does measured pressure drop with wear? And, possibly most importantly, given decreasing pressure with wear, is using; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01523.html (10,367 bytes)
8. Re: Oil Pressure-Cause for concern??? (score: 1): Author: "Andy Webster" <trunkie@hotmail.com>; Date: Sat, 23 Oct 1999 17:51:19 GMT; The oil pump provides flow...not pressure. Pressure is provided by the resistance to the shearing forces applied as oil is forced through small spaces, such as between bearing surfaces, through filte; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01528.html (8,811 bytes)
9. Re: Oil Pressure-Cause for concern??? (score: 1): Author: Jeff Boatright <jboatri@emory.edu>; Date: Sat, 23 Oct 1999 15:53:54 -0400; I guess the other side of this is, what is necessarily wrong with using lower weight oil, even if pressure drops, if the flow remains that same. That is, the bearings would still be lubricated, right; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01535.html (9,819 bytes)
10. Re: Oil Pressure-Cause for concern??? (score: 1): Author: Richard Shipman <mbelect@mindspring.com>; Date: Sat, 23 Oct 1999 17:07:53 -0400; the thinner oil is leaking past the bearing surfaces faster. The oil pressure is monitored at the main distribution oil gallery. From there, it takes a long circuitous route through the bearings, oi; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01538.html (10,405 bytes)

But, what would cause the car to have good strong oil pressure on start up until running hard for one to one 1/2 hrs. and then the pressure gradually drops to; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01543.html (11,189 bytes)
12. Re: Oil Pressure-Cause for concern??? (score: 1): Author: "Andy Webster" <trunkie@hotmail.com>; Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 03:06:28 GMT; A)Most oil manufacturers work out the viscosities etc. in a laborotory in glassware and lab apparatus. This can lead to differences in the rating of the oil and its performance under real conditions.; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01550.html (12,067 bytes)
13. Re: Oil Pressure-Cause for concern??? (score: 1): Author: Daniel1312@aol.com; Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 08:40:36 EDT; The oil gets thinner as it gets hotter and so you see less oil pressure. How thin it gets at a given temperature is what the SAE grading indicates. How thick it gets at a cold temperature is also wha; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01554.html (8,693 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Paul Van Wig <topbroker@earthlink.net>; Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 09:57:06 -0700; Our oil pressure is taken from the center main bearing not the oil galley like most cars. So what you see on the gauge is what you get. Put an oil pressure gauge before the oil filter and you will se; /html/spridgets/1999-10/msg01599.html (11,150 bytes)
