That sounds perfectly normal to me, when the oil is cold and thick the pressure will be higher, at hot idle it'll drop and then go back up when you're driving. _________________ Phil

oils thick when cold so ull get high pressure. Pressure should fluctuate up or down with revs. so its ok.
Just 15/40 semi synthetic with a motorfactors filter will be fine. |

maybe it was overfilled hence the un fluctuating pressure |

Or there was a loose wire on the sender/bad earth/bit of dirt blocking it. Fluctuating oil pressure as you describe it is normal. _________________ Phil
