Oil pressure at 3 on 1993 300E. Is the normal?
Just bought a 93 300E and wondering what the normal oil pressure should be?
|
I was reading about a oil pressure sender. what is the use, and what happends if i don't replace it?
|
3 Bar is about right
For a cold engine, It can drop to 1.5 with a hot engine.
As I recall a Bar is equal to 14.8 PSI so 3 x 14.8 = 44.5 PSI which is about where it should be. Looks like your sender is doint it's job OK. BTW What engine? 2.8 or 3.2? (It helps with questions). |
it is a 2.8

Note that oil viscosity can affect your readings...but on average, readings of 1.5 and above at idle is normal. But it should peg to "3" when maintaining engine speeds above idle. |
i just whent out there and turning the key to the on possion and it does go to 3. so the sending unit is the problem?

But since yours is a 2.8 (M103 motor) and I have a 3.2 (M104), I can't tell you accurately how to go about replacing it or its exact location. I know the part goes for around $70. I can replace it on mine (did it twice) with 15 minutes of spare time and a crescent wrench...and I'm not a wrench-head! |
thanks
thanks for the help!
