who runs a dash mounted op warning "light"?...

7psi for idiot light, jrk asks a valid question, i 've seen race cars using the sun type ones. longacre has one too. i'll probably install the longacre one in the racecar. btw, jrk, have you seen the new baffled sump i'm planning to install?

show me pics.....

ya know i run one?....it works!!!

The longacre light looks nice. The autometer sport comp II is nice too, but may be difficult to see & are $199.

Not to hijack, but people that have oil pressure and temp gauges, what are you typical seeing at cold idle, warm idle, regular driving, etc?

[nando]

cold idle is like 50psi
warm idle is ~14psi
full load 60psi
normal driving - 20-60psi

oil temps will run 160-180 normal driving, over 200 on a hot track.

this is M20 right? I'm guessing M5X/S5X is pretty similar.

Ben, my M42 does similar pressures with Castrol 10W-40

yeah, M20

AFAIK M20 and M50 bearing clearances are the same (at least, the part #s are all the same), so aside from differences in the pumps and oil used they should be similar.

Im about the same...w/m20...20/50 gtx.

...really cold Im over 50 tho....over 60 too.

on a hot rockin track day.......Im a wee bit over 200 degrees.

Ben....for 24v's...try bimmerforums.com...track section

[nando]

yeah, it varies a bit depending on temp, but that's usually what I'm seeing. right now it's probably too cold for 20w50, but I have to go to canada if I want something like 5w50..
