Im interested to see other people's oil pressure? Mine is (Hot): Idle:35psi Freeway: 51psi Also is there a way to adjust oil pressure via a relief valve like on a mini? |

What oil are you running? I'm using Castrol Edge 20w50 but thinking of going something slightly heavier like Penrite HPR15 20w60 |

What's wrong with 45-50 PSI hot? Sounds like enough to me.. The oil pump has gotta have a pressure relief / regulating valve somewhere, question is whether it's externally accessible like on the A-series. |

I have spoken to a few people and with the extra boost i'm running (~20psi) and higher rev's (7,800rpm) they would like to see it a bit higher.. |

I'm using Castrol Edge 20w50 but thinking of going something slightly heavier like Penrite HPR15 20w60 I'm running Castrol Edge 10W30. All the manuals I've got say recommended oil is 10W30. My engine is basically stock, so I've stuck to this. The oil pressure seemed pretty good to me. Try posting the question on the Austarletclub forum. More 4eftes there.
