Oil Pressure Range
See bottom of this post for peoples results.
Original Post: Hey all, I've been searching for a few days for an exact answer but I haven't been able to find anything conclusive. What is a normal range for oil pressure for our engines stock? How about with an oil cooler and a turbo? What is a healthy range that the oil pressure should stay between at all times? -------------------------------------------------- Below is the template everyone should follow to report oil pressures.
Optional: Pictures, videos, ect. -------------------------------------------------- Results will be posted here. Last edited by blackfireball5; 06-02-2014 at 01:27 PM. |

I would hazard a guess that our cars are spec'd for a viscosity of ~7 cST @ 100C, based on the fact that the stock 0W-20 is rated for that. So in saying that, our cars run hot when being beat on, that raises the temp up to 110-120-130 degrees celsius, so from that I would conclude that the stock 0W-20 at those temps drops to a viscosity rating of ~4-5 cSt which in my mind is not good. but if ya want to keep using the OEM Mobil 0W-20, that I would think having a thermostatically controlled oil cooler would be good investment.
see my post: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63955 EDIT: this doesn't tell you what pressure you will get, but will give you an idea of what oil you should run based off temp to ensure oem designed oil pressure is maintained. Last edited by Gords_zenith; 05-01-2014 at 08:31 PM. |

Thanks for your post. I personally am using amsoil 5w-30, with an oil cooler and the fbm kit. I'm ordering an oil pressure gauge soon and wanted to know what kind of psi i should be looking for at each end of the spectrum.

You need a 150psi gauge. The oil pump goes into full bypass at 125psi. I routinely see 100-125psi on cold start with a low load on the engine.
I typically see about 1 bar per 1k rpm at operating temperature (90-100C) with 0w-20. |

Cold start, i get about 8.9 bar (129 psi)
Idling at normal operating temperature, oil pressure would around 1.3-1.5 bar 5w30, Perrin oil cooler, Defi Advance CR oil pressure gauge hooked up to the oil gallery port beside the AC compressor |

Yo can you post up what parts you used for your gauge? That would be very helpful.

http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Suba...il-Galley-Plug http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Suba...ey-Plug-Gasket Then I hooked them up to the port beside the compressor Take note that the OEM Subaru oil gallery plug is threaded for 1/8 PT sensors. You can probably use the stock oil pressure sensor location. It's pretty useless anyway. By the time the warning light turns on, the damage has already been done. It's the sensor below the oil filter housing, the one with the disconnected connector in the photo: Been driving around with the stock oil pressure sensor disconnected. No CELs. I believe it's a simple switch that grounds itself to the block when there is no pressure detected, illuminating the warning lamp on the cluster. Hope this helps.
