I also installed a pressure-gauge and have some readings for you;
With the engine completely warmed up and 5W30 oil in my D24TIC i can read the rpm's from my pressure-gauge.
What are you saying????
If the engine is at 1000 rpm, the pressure is 1bar.
1500 rpm, 1,5 bar
2000 rpm, 2 bar
etc. etc. it's almost linear with each other.
The oil i used before was giving more pressure, it gave about 0,5 bar more added to each reading above.
But i prefer 5W30 full-synthetic otherwise my hydraulic valvelifter gets "pumped up" so constantly having opened one exhaust valve....
So if you have 2 bar idling with a warm engine that looks nice to me!What oil do you use?
