Start up oil pressure

[OH3Cobra]

Just picked up my car today! Picked it up and put in an enclosed trailer to take it to have clear bra installed. Noticed the oil pressure in the 125 Arena - is that alright. Only ran and it 2x's (on and off) for no more than 5 mins at a time.

Normal.....Scared me too

Yup, normal. Above what I'm used to with previous modular engines and way above what I was brought with on OHV engines.

Thank you both! Singing "Under Pressure" now by David Bowie and Queen. Thanks for stop (ping), collaborate (ing) and most importantly listen -ing. Hope you get my humor.

Normal. Once it is up to operating temp, expect to see 25 to 50 at idle.

thanks for the replies. I was afraid it was the filter oil crush deal and that could be why it reads so high. Great to know its normal!. Want to drive this baby!

Just like in the GT350, this car uses 5W50. Don't honk on it until the oil temp reaches 190F.

The oil viscosity is one of the reasons cold oil pressure is so high.
