Oil pressure normal operating range?
Will im searching for my other problem i realise that my oil pressure is really high on my gauge(stock one).
When i start it,i get around 412 wich is excatly in the middle between the 275mark and the 550 mark
When it get worm the oil pressure would stay around 275 right in the middle of the gauge.
My last motor never reach those number.
Right now im running some 5w30 castrol mineral oil for my break in.I also got a new sending unit.
Is it good or bad ?

How the hell could the stock gauge be in psi.Normal people got around 60 psi when its cold and around 20psi when its hot.
If the stock gauge is in psi i would have over 275 psi off oil pressure in my motor...That doesnt make sens

So mine is in KPA.
10 KPA = 1.4503773773020922 PSI
So when cold my 412 KPA = 59.7555479448462 PSI
And when hot my 275KPA = 39.885377875807535 PSI
So my car is perfect.
Thank you for you help
