td42 low hot idle oil pressure
td42 low hot idle oil pressure
My engine with just over 1000kms has low eng oil pressure (20psi) but only when its hot and at idle rest of the time it hangs bettween 40-60psi. Anyone had or got any idea's on this i thought maybe the pump but it's $520 for a new pump from nissan ex japan. So would like to make shure it cant be anything else.

Re: td42 low hot idle oil pressure
What sore of oil? Shite oil can give low oil pressure. Fuel dilution can also cause the same
Also it could be an idea to replace the filters in case they have picked up stuff from the build.
Other than that a bit of silicon or shite stuck under the pressure relief?
Easy checks before a pump change

Re: td42 low hot idle oil pressure
no, there are two reliefs and they are on that alloy mounting piece for the oil filters.

20 psi is normal for the TD42 hot at idle...........no problem to fix

from memory 12-14psi is the lower limit by the book
if you are really worried you can always fit an extra remote oil cooler
Re: td42 low hot idle oil pressure
If it'e brand new it's probably got a little fuel in the oil from the initial bedding in as it would have had poor ring seal....big lux wrote:how low psi should i get worried at, its a brand new engine so i realy realy dnt wna . it.
Wether there is enough fuel to make an actual noticeable difference is another story...
