Hey all, some of you here have driven and romped on these cars for year. Nomrally I have been a naturally aspirated chick. what would you consider the right oil pressure for this car, wityh the engine super healthy? I have always gotten 4-5 bars for teh B230 and B23 when cold, and maybe 3.5-4 when hot on the highway. The Turbo appears noticably lower, though the owners book always says that hot it can run 1.5 bars, and into the red in the summer in hot places. This is about what it does at idle, nbut it enver really seems tog et more traction cold. It runs about 3.5 Bars cold, and then never goes above that running, say at 2200 RPM, when hot.

So, in my view, it is consistantly running about 14lbs lighter than the B230 at all times, maybe even a bit more when hot.

Sure, I can an exact oil test, but if you guiys know, it will give me a general feel.

It sure doesn't burn any oil.
