1. Oil Pressure questions (score: 1): Author: Larry Colen <lrcar@red4est.com>; Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2002 17:38:13 -0700; Having run the engine out of oil due to the oil leak, I'm hyper paranoid right now and have some questions. 1) What sort of oil pressures do people see on their motors cold, warm and hot and at what; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00265.html (8,459 bytes)

Re: Oil Pressure questions (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <mvheim@attbi.com>; Date: Wed, 07 Aug 2002 17:41:03 -0700; Hmm, I did the same you you did (pump out all the oil from the adapter housing), and haven't noticed any harm after 4 years. My oil pressure at 190 degrees operating temp (indicated) is 70psi @ 3000r; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00267.html (9,381 bytes)

Re: Oil Pressure questions (score: 1): Author: Larry Colen <lrcar@red4est.com>; Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2002 19:44:45 -0700; Except that my electric guage died a while back and I've got an aftermarket mechanical guage. When I saw the pressure drop today I pulled over and checked my oil level. I didn't see any oil on the di; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00269.html (8,820 bytes)

Re: Oil Pressure questions (score: 1): Author: "Bob D." <bobmgtd@insightbb.com>; Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2002 23:11:02 -0500; I question the effectiveness of the oil pressure gauge to warn of an oil leak. When the pressure falls due to low oil it will fall fast, and by the time the driver notices it, it will be too late. If; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00276.html (9,934 bytes)
5. Re: Oil Pressure questions (score: 1): Author: "Telewest $PH$" <paul.hunt1@blueyonder.co.uk>; Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 15:30:18 +0100; All sounds fine to me. The Workshop manual says 50-80psi running and 15-25psi idling. However Haynes quotes 50-80 at 3000 so your hot figure is at the bottom end. Given everything else I wouldn't wor; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00360.html (9,463 bytes)
6. Re: Oil Pressure questions (score: 1): Author: Charles & Peggy Robinson <ccrobins@ktc.com>; Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2002 13:23:29 -0500; Mine shows 75 psi at cold idle, same at higher rpm. After it's good and warmed up it drops to 50 at idle, 60 over 1500 rpm. I use Castrol 20-50 and the engine has ~10,000 miles on it after a major re; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00375.html (8,843 bytes)

Re: Oil Pressure questions (score: 1): Author: "Bob D." <bobmgtd@insightbb.com>; Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 14:03:04 -0500; IMHO, our engines would be much better protected with an oil *level* gauge, rather than an oil *pressure* gauge. The risk of the oil running low is much greater than the risk of the oil pump failing.; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00379.html (8,603 bytes)

It mounts in the dash, you pull a knob and a doodicky will extend a distance proportional to the amount of oil in the crankcase.

Re: Oil Pressure questions (score: 1): Author: "Telewest $PH$" <paul.hunt1@blueyonder.co.uk>; Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2002 11:02:52 +0100; In 35 years, heaven knows how many cars and 100s of thousands of miles I have never run low on oil. I do know people who have, but they don't bother topping up until the oil light (no gauge) comes on; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00392.html (9,032 bytes)

I've heard it said that raising the oil pressure in a vehicle can actually decrease the oil flow to the bearings. I can see where this might be true if one is; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00405.html (8,538 bytes)

Re: Oil Pressure questions (score: 1): Author: Barney Gaylord <barneymg@ntsource.com>; Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 00:26:42 -0500; That would never be true with an MG That might be true if the pump output was sensitive to pressure. The oil pump in an MG is a positive displacement pump which will put out a fixed or constant flow; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00406.html (14,085 bytes)
