Hi John,

Mine reads just below with ignition off, and just above the zero line with ignition on.
Pressure reads 5 bar when cold at 3k rpm or more, 2 bar idle, and 4.5bar 3k rpm when hot with 1-2 bar at idle.

Hope this helps.

You guys have way too much time on your hands!

But mine is dead on zero with ignition on. Hits about 4.5 at high revs.

Ignition on, engine off. My engine is so strong, it has oil pressure when it's not even running:

Randall

maybe you're way below sea level or the air pressure was high that day!!!

Randall, what did you have for dinner last night?

John,

There is NEVER a oil pressure when the pump is not running, when you switch off your engine, the pressure will flow a way because the oil pump wheels are never 100% leak proof, there is always a % space between the oil pump housing and the wheels that pump the oil around. So, fur sure, after 5 minutes there is never any pressure on the oil system, the pump stops pumping when the engine is off, and the engine ventilation system ge'ts rid of the other pressures.

I think it was humour.
That's like humor, but more subtle.
