Hi There,
I've been driving my car a bit more lately after just finishing the interior refurb. I've noticed that the oil pressure is dropping at idle about 1/3 of the way in to the red. This is only after I've driven for about 30 minutes and it's well and truly warm. It never used to do this. I've changed the oil recently, but exactly the same type as last time. (I change ever 2000 klms) Engine feels as strong as ever. It's not blowing smoke or using any oil. After a few hundred klms the oil is still golden. With a few revs on oil pressure gauge climbs again to it's happy place quickly. When cold in the green all the time. Is this something to be worried about? Could it be the gauge/sender rather than the engine itself? Do other P6's exhibit this symptom?
Any help/advice would be very much appreciated.
Warm Regards,
John
