Re: diesel oil pressure
1.1 bar @2000 rpm @ 80 deg C oil temp. Make sure you have the correct oil pressure switches fitted the KY uses the same pressure switches as the JX turbo diesel not as the CS which runs at higher pressure of 2 bar.

Re: diesel oil pressure
No figures are given as it's checked a 2000 rpm but it should be above the 0.45 bar.

Re: diesel oil pressure
Is that right Bigherb as that only equates to 6.5 psi?

Re: diesel oil pressure
That's why you check it a 2000 rpm.
