Oil pressure
by JBruce Camino » Tue Jul 26, 2016 8:39 pm
My oil pressure has been reading kind of low on climb. It's between 58 - 62. It's been a bit hot in Southern Cal, but this seems a bit low to me, still. I had the mechanic pump it up a bit, but now on start up/warm up it's high and on climbout it's low. At altitude when I level off it is around 70. Can anyone give me some feedback if this is of any concern? POH says that it should be no lower than 60 on the low and no higher than 90 on the high.

Ideally oil pressure should be above 60 psi when the engine is fully warmed and in cruise flight. There are a number of different oil pressure springs which will help with oil pressure. In order to have higher cruise pressure you will find that your oil pressure on initial start will be higher, if so you may have to warm it more.
A lot depends on which oil you are running.
