Simple one, just wondering what sort of oil pressure you guys usually get on the gauge? On the highway (2000rpm or so) mine seems to sit on the 2nd yellow mark, or the top of the first 1st division after the red zone. Just seems a bit low to me.

It normally with a good condition motor should sit...
3 bars at 2000rpm or higher 2 bars at 700rpm (idle) It does seem a little low to me, thats what my old motor had when it had blowby. I wouldnt be too worried as it still is in the OK area. What kinda oil do you run? How many K's you done?

Has it recently dropped down to this reading or has it been for a while?

Since i got her, but that was at 144ks. What do you mean by 2 bars also? As in the red zone + 1, or red zone and 2 yellow?
