After having the car back, I have noticed on start up, the oil pressure goes just past the 4 on standard gauge, then when warm and at normal driving, it settles to just above the zero, I have been in touch with the mechanic, and he assures me that because their is very thin oil in it (better for running an engine in) it will be low, I will be changing the oil soon to a thicker 15w 40 fully synthetic, hopefully I will see a difference, he also said that the gauge are prone to be faulty, the engine runs absolutly smooth, has this happened to anyone else?

 

Thanks

The oil pressure sender is very unreliable, changing it will probably improve the situation. I would stick with a 10w40 or 10w50 oil, but people will no doubt have their own views on that.

Where would the best place to get a new one, how do I replace it? Is it something I could do myself or is it worth booking it in?

just my two centsbumpWhen you came into the world, she held you in her arms.　　You thanked her by weeping your eyes out.　　When you were 1 year old, she fed you and bathed you.　　You thanked her by crying all night long.　　When you were 2 years old, she taught you to walk.　　You thanked her by running away when she called.　　When you were 3 years old, she made all your meals with love.　　You thanked her by tossing your plate on the floor.　　When you were 4 years old, she gave you some crayons.　　You thanked her by coloring the dining room table.　　When you were 5 years old, she dressed you for the holidays.　　You thanked her by plopping into the nearest pile of mud.　　When you were 6 years old, she walked you to school.　　You thanked her by screaming, “I'm not going!”　　When you were 7 years old, she bought you a baseball.　　You thanked her by throwing it through the next-door-neighbor's window.　　When you were 8 years old, she handed you an ice cream.　　You thanked her by dripping it all over your lap.　　When you were 9 years old, she paid for piano lessons.　　You thanked her by never even bothering to practice.　　When you were 10 years old, she drove you all day, from soccer to gymnastics to one birthday party after another.　　You thanked her by jumping out of the car and never looking back.　　When you were 11 years old, she took you and your friends to the movies.　　You thanked her by asking to sit in a different row.　　When you were 12 years old, she warned you not to watch certain TV shows.　　You thanked her by waiting until she left the house.Thsale is a professional, loyal and reliable wow gold supplier online, we pioneered selling cheap wow gold.

Anyone?

i plan to replace my gauges in time for after market ones i was looking at a water/oil/exhaust temp gauge there are a good selection on flee bay

 

but i do plan to have it done by my auto electrician hth

its not very difficult to do.

 

just buy a gauge of your fancy,

 

you connect the electrical wires to your cd player for example (power, earth, ignition)

 

so it lights up and has power to move the gauge needle.

 

then you plug the sensor from the gauge, thro the firewall, into the engine bay, and into the standard location (oposite side of engine to the oil filter)

 

hardest part is geting underneath the car and plugin the sensor in.

 

gauge part inside is quite fun :)

If I buy a oil pressure gauge, would I still need to get a new oil sender unit?
