Hi all
I have 88 740 with the B230f engine. The usual oil idiot light flickering syndrome struck. I replaced the sending unit with a mechanical gauge. I looked thru the archives and the FAQ, but couldn't find what a normal oil pressure reading is for a car with 250,000 miles and using mobil one 10w-30. Right now when warmed up at idle I have almost 50 psi, when running up around 3000 rpms I have about 62 psi. The highest is about 75 psi. Is this OK or shouild I be worried?
