oil pressure gauge

[tombell]

hi all is it right that after being driven a little my oil pressure gauge sits at 2 bar at idle but when i accelerate it goes up to 5 bar till i let off? normal or something wrong?

[nip]

sound normal to me

Yeah that sounds about right.
Pressure should only increase once you start the revs as the oil pump is driven of the crank.
5bar is ideal.

Sounds normal. mine reaches 5 bar around 2.5 krpm

should be higher when cold too...a cood plan to do an oil change if you've only recently got the car, unless you have a recent stamp.
