Oil Pressure - Everything you need to know.

STiLL annoyed the STi doesn't come with an oil-temp and oil-pressure gauge. lol.

I used my oil pressure gauge to determine that i should stop using a 30weight oil. And as the oil wears it loses viscosity and you can see that in the gauge. I use the oil temp gauge to tell me when I can start having fun and stop having fun. Start having fun around 180 and call it quits around 250. 14-15psi at raised idle with 200 degree oil temp...5w40 oil...73k miles so far so good. Forged internals

This helps a lot man!

Didn’t even know I needed this video, I learned hella! Excited for this series 🔥

Water hoooose ✌

What are your thoughts on running the oil cooler at the 1st start ups vs not till later on after break in to prevent bearing / break in particles to stay in oil cooler and possible coming out when raising boost and load into motor ? I have a brand new oil cooler for my new build . Just thought about that for some reason .

good info! I'm going to install an oil pressure gauge and wouldn't put it passed me to start freaking out when my oil pressure drops after the engine warms up.

great info man, best vid yet

Hey @donutmedia , you taking notes?

🤣🤣 thanks Matt

Well done Matt some great details

A great video brother. Alot of great troubleshooting and learning tools in this video. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family brother 😀. On our way to the Dominican Republic Thursday night. Punta Cana. Paradise awaits. Stay safe and warm. 🤪

🤔Great video Matt honestly appreciate this. You literally just took me back to school with this one👍🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

No PRESSURE to respond but, is this relevant to just Petrol/Ethanol engines or do all the principles apply to Diesel as well?

Great info as always!

Another candy snacker like me🤣 I'm an apple 0 guy though

😁👍🏻👍🏻

Yo Matt this vid was on point. Just installed a oil press gauge on the ej20 after watching you and have learnt a shed load from this vid. Ted talk your thing ma man!

Opinion on using the rear oil galley plug for oil pressure sensor? I used this one as I kept the standard subaru pressure switch and just wondering if it would read any different from this location?

Thank you, that was a really good explanation of how it works. I learned a lot from it. Not just that I have to try peach O’s either. I have had my oil temp gauge up for awhile and now I can actually discern what it means. Thanks

I get 90psi on cold start, 20psi on warm idle and 80psi on throttle. 312,000km on the original motor (LGT wagon)

This was my favorite style of video you've done, great job! Kinda looked goofy scooting out at the end tho lmao

Debating on getting an oil pressure gauge 🤓 nice video! Keep it flowing 🔥

If you want to reach followers beyond the US it would be wise to indicate also values in BAR. The rest of the world uses that instead of PSI.

My oring on the oil pump is old and not selling,so the pump is plowing oil on the sump,can this plow oil out of the dipstick

I'm very interested in oil pressure. I always put a gauge on my modded cars. My 98 TJ Jeep with 200,000 miles makes like 8 psi at idle but it's been like that for years.

My sandwich plate style (planning to move it) AEM gauge on my "stage 3" EJ205 in my 05 WRX was reading 10-11 psi at idle with 5w-30. It's also been making a rattle at part throttle between 2500 and 3500 rpms lately after some flogging on the dyno. So I cut open my oil filter, found copper shavings, put Rotella T6 in it, and buttoned it back up.

For comparison. now I'm getting 12-13 psi at idle, 50 psi cruising at 65 in 5th on the highway, and 95 psi at cold startup. I never lug the engine but she's obviously had too many high mileage beatings. I have a JDM EJ205 on the way. I've still been driving it but plan to swap it before it grinds itself apart. What pressures are you seeing for comparison?

Breaking free of the 9-5 will soon come to you (Asian accent)

How if oil pressure stay in let say 70 psi in all rpm range...?

I didn't really know anything about how my oil pressure gauge operates or what the values are telling me, so this was pretty helpful.

Why would a new oil pressure gauge fogs up when engine running? It is a mechanical gauge
