So, what is "too much" oil pressure in a waterboxer? mcneely And, what is too much oil pressure in an inline VW motor? (ABA Jetta 2.0 liter) Mine, using 15-40 starts up cold with (3000rpm) 75-80psi, then when up to normal oil temp (~200f) the pressure settles at around 60-65psi (again, given a 3000rpm engine speed) I've wondered about the seemingly pretty high cold oil and engine oil pressure... After hard use on a hot day, my idle OP sits at about 25psi with the 15-40w oil. When I use 10-40 or 10-30, I see about 10psi lower at speed and a few psi lower at idle when hot.
