Ques about oil pressure
I have an 85 GS and was taking notice of my oil gauge. I notice at idle , 900 rpm, the oil pressure is a little over 30. And when I am driving at 3000 rpm and over the oil pressure is a little under 110. Is that a good range for this engine?
|
perfectly normal, are you going off the stock gauge?
|
at 3000rpm it should be about 60psi, unless you have an upgraded regulator or shims, etc. Make sure your gauge is accurate.
high oil pressure is better than low pressure, but I would think unchecked pressure could cause longevity issues with the oil system as a whole. |
Yes, I am reading the stock gauge. It seems to move when I accelerate or deccelerate. I assume thats just the change of pressure in the engine.
|
If it's like the 2nd gen, it's supposed to move. If you're using the stocker just keep in mind that it's 25+ years old so don't expect it to be super accurate. On my FC I just use it as a tool to tell me I have oil pressure.

I've never personally come across a stock oil pressure gauge that worked correctly. Get an aftermarket mechanical gauge, that'll be way more accurate.
