This  weekend I put in a 3 gauge panel in my Vanagon. One of which is
an oil  pressure gauge. As I haven't had an oil pressure gauge in a
Vanagon before,  I need a "baseline" to compare my readings with.
Currently, my 87 Westy as  155K miles, and I have 10W30 oil in it.
When warmed up, idle pressure is  15psi, at 3K RPM - 30psi, at 4K RPM
- 40psi. What oil pressure readings do  you get in your Vanagons?

Ric,  see my _Vanagon 2.1 Engine Oil Pressure  Survey_
