The bar reads at approx. 1 and the 1.5 in neutral. Is this normal...my oil was just changed by the dealership and has 10W40. The motor supposedly has 83,000KMS original kilometers. Help or advice much appreciated.
Factory specs for that era are usually quite low at hot idle, say on the order of 0.33 bar, or about 5 PSI. Are you sure that's not the alternator light that is coming on?
