Newbie/General ForumBeginner/basic questions and general EVO discussion. Specific questions should be asked in a focused forum below. This area is for the newbies.
I am going to buy a oil pressure gauge, but do I buy one that goes up to 100 or one that is higher.
What I want to know if the oil pressure will pass 100, because I dont want a gauge that reads up to 400, and it will only go up to 80 or something like that.
Thanks
I'm not sure about on the EVO's, but on the DSM's the oil pressure at idle with the engine could could be a bit over 100. After the oil warms up it drops down a lot, but it is not good to peg a gauge even for a little while during warm up. I would say get a 150 psi if you can find it.
