Re: [T3] pressures


I always thought the pressure valves were supposed to kick in at about 30psi
(oil pressure), but, I found on my car that oil pressure varies from 20psi
at idle up to about 50psi at high speed (2500rpm and up)- thats when the
valves kick in .
These pressures are when cold 20w-50w Castrol GTX.
