Oil Pressure for b16 PR3
#8
Re:Oil Pressure for b16 PR3
Should be ok.... spec is 10psi @ idle
50psi @ 3000rpm, those are minimum spec readings.
Hehe... my tired old high c/r D16A6 makes 0psi @ idle once at operating temp (after a hard drive) and it still runs.
I suggested to the current owner of the engine to run 20w50 in it through the summer, and to not be shocked when it grenades (should be any day now).

BTW, the aforementioned D16 has been running like that for well over a year allready. Once the revs come up, so does the oil pressure, so it makes pressure when under load, which I think is the most significant factor.

I have a d16y8 and if I am low on oil my gauge reads 14-17 psi but when I give it gas it runs right up to 80 psi. It will fluctuate diffently. I can kinda tell when oil is low. If I have 4 full quarts it idle's at 25 psi.
