Hello,

Buy yourself a workshop oil pressure gauge :)

Then you get figures not guesses.. :roll:

Maybe buy a new oil pressure switch... they do get cranky with old age... :)

I refuse to get drawn into the oil debate..... we have 200 litre drum of 15/40 diesel oil... cars.. tractors..vans.. all good.. :rofl :rofl :rofl

Cordialement,

:ok
