Bugeye Sti oil preasure.

What sort of oil preasure should my car be seeing at tickover 500rpm? Oil temp norm. Regards Nige

500rpm bit low for tick over isnt it
between 2-3 bar with 10/50w at 80c is good.

Found this. Mine at 500rpm is 1.5bar @ 3000rpm its over 5bar so no worrys :yeah

I have copied the following directly from the Subaru wkshop manual.

BTW (14.5 psi = 1 Bar)



Start the engine, and then measure the oil pressure.

Oil pressure:

98 kPa (1.0 kg/cm2, 14 psi) or more at 800 rpm
294 kPa (3.0 kg/cm2, 43 psi) or more at 5,000
rpm

• If the oil pressure is out of specification, check oil
pump, oil filter and lubrication line. <Ref. to
LU(H4DOTC)-21, INSPECTION, Engine Lubrication
System Trouble in General.>
• If the oil pressure warning light is turned ON and
oil pressure is in specification, replace the oil pressure
switch. <Ref. to LU(H4DOTC)-21, INSPECTION,
Engine Lubrication System Trouble in
General.>
NOTE:
The specified data is based on an engine oil temperature
of 80°C (176°F).
5) After measuring the oil pressure, install the oil
pressure switch. <Ref. to LU(H4DOTC)-18, INSTALLATION,
Oil Pressure Switch.>
Tightening torque:
