October 12, 201510 yr Hi I have a 2004 wrx sti type uk ppp.does anybody know what my oil pressure should be my car has been tuned to 402.9bhp.but when car has warmed up and I'm idling my oil pressure light comes on my defi gauges but if I pick the revs up it goes off.i haven't got any warning light on the dash and it has been like this since I picked it up on Friday.

October 12, 201510 yr Depends on what the previous owner has set the warning at, what does the gauge read when warm ? The stock oil light is useless and will only come on when it's too late
October 12, 201510 yr Pressure will depend on grade of oil and running temp. At 87-89℃ my idle pressure is 2.7bar. When I'm fully up to temp 97℃ it's at 2.0bar. I use 10w40 fully synthetic oil. Cold start with oil at 25-30℃ idle is 6.3bar.

October 12, 201510 yr Author Ok according to last service it's used motul 300 15w40w. When I start up it's 6.0bar but when warm it's beeping on 1.1 bar will take a pic now Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 12, 201510 yr Author No not constant.as soon as I pick the revs up it goes off only when idling. Yes m8 just over 1.0 bar. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 12, 201510 yr Author Not sure what it peaks at when driving will have 2 check next when I go out Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 12, 201510 yr Mine drops to 1.4 occasionally when really hot it doesnt bother me any more as know it's ok all depends on what grade oil and time if year, with the colder mornings etc. Maybe have a look at sender see if all ok Mine died in July scared the !Removed! out of me as went from. 1.8 slowly dropped to 0
October 12, 201510 yr Depends on position of sensor too. 1.4 is fine for idle. Providing your peak doesn't fluctuate when accelerating or at higher rpm you will be fine.
October 12, 201510 yr Author I have this aswell does this adjust it all do u think it has been set 2 low cause the beeping noise is doing my head in. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 12, 201510 yr Yes, there's a button there for warning set. Have a look for a guide to help adjusting it. I dont know that set up I'm afraid.
October 12, 201510 yr Author Yea it's all new to me aswell I think I will take it 2 a tuning garage so they can sort out will just have 2 find 1.hope it don't cost 2 much.thanks for all your help cheers all. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 12, 201510 yr There should be a manual online. Would be a worthwhile investment trying to find it. Will only cost you time that way. Always good to know how your gauges work [emoji4]
October 12, 201510 yr Author Thanks scoobyghost much appreciated. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 12, 201510 yr That's over 600 quids worth of kit,I think you hold the warn button down and advance or decrease the setting using the up down arrows, , same with peak . It's been over 10 years since I've seen a set though so could have changed
October 12, 201510 yr Author Ok thanks will have a look on Google now. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 12, 201510 yr Author Scoobyghost I'm going to look online now to see how 2 adjust it.but the thing is if it's beeping at 1.4bar I would have 2 lower it.what bar pressure should it b running when fully warmed is it 2.0bar.if so it will b no point in me lowering the setting to stop it beeping.sorry for all the questions I'm just really a bit confused.

October 12, 201510 yr If your warm idle is always 1.4bar, set it to 1.1 that will allow for slight deviations but also giving you enough warning should the pressure drop too low. I wouldn't worry about pressure providing its always constant. It's when you start getting strange readings that there's an issue. Whether it's the sensor or more serious. Do you have an oil temp gauge too?
October 12, 201510 yr Author Yes but not working wasn't working when picked car up it doesn't move at all just red light comes on with no beeping sound does go off sometimes. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 12, 201510 yr As for "should be" at a certain pressure there are far too many variables. Grade of oil, position of sensor, oil level, age of sensor. Many things.
October 12, 201510 yr Author Thanks scoobyghost do u think it's worth getting checked out in a garage. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
