Oil pressure
•
If you do not read positive oil pressure on start up, shut down your engine and investigate.
•
Oil Pressure may be higher than usual when starting in very cold conditions, due to the viscosity of the oil. Allow oil
pressure to stabilize with temperature.
•
The oil pressure sensor has to be compatible with your instrument. Sometimes calibration is needed.
•
We advise to install an analogue manometer ( or ask your ULP agent for the oil and fuel pressure trouble shooting kit )
•
Adjust the parameters on your instrument, or change the sensor until logged values are
•
very close to/equal the manometer reading.
•
If the oil temperature is too high, the oil pressure will drop. We advise to keep the oil
temperature below 105°C (221°F).
•
Use of the wrong type of oil may not only affect oil pressure but damage your engine.
NOTE: A well-functioning engine doesn’t always need a high oil pressure. A high oil flow
is as important as the oil is not only a way to lubricate your engine but also to cool it down.
