Re: I'm getting an oil pressre of 30psi at idle Posted by John Williams [Email] (#1982) [Profile/Gallery] (more from John Williams) on Thu, 19 Apr 2007 19:59:37 In Reply to: I'm getting an oil pressre of 30psi at idle, Inga [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 19 Apr 2007 05:28:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I am getting close to the same thing, I just installed my oil pressure gage and I am running Castrol 10w30 for engine break-in. I am pretty sure royal purple 10w40 will hold better oil pressure and I have even thought of going to a Rotella 15w40 T for better oil pressure in the summer.
I was surpised at how low it was too, but I think this is normal for 10w30 oils in Saabs. There was a study done on Saabs and basically only a couple of 10w30 oils would maintain good oil pressure in Saabs. Redline 10w30, Castrol syntech 10w30, not what I'm running now and Royal purple, many others failed to mainain good oil pressure, most 10w40's did maintain good oil pressure. I am swithcing back to Royal Purple 10w40 :-)
