Technical Oil pressure specifications

[ultrasonic]

Hi all,

I have a panda fitted with the 1.2 post modification engine (euro 4 pre VVT). I was running an oil pressure test yesterday and got the following results:
Oil spec: 5W-40 ACEA C3
Mileage on oil: 7k km
Oil pressure on tick when cold: 0.8 bar
Oil pressure on tick at OT: 1.1 bar
Oil pressure at 4000rpm at OT: 4.8 bar

I want to compare the above pressure values with what I should be expecting but I am seeing values from 3.5, 4, 5 bar reported as " normal". Could someone recommend if the values above are normal; Mileage on engine is 280k km.


Many thanks

Normal

5 bar is that maximum before the pressure relief valve opens, high rpm

Less than 0.4 bar is when the oil light comes on

Cheers, I was expecting 4.8 bar at 4000rpm to be a bit on the high side (indicating a worn engine - which is true I guess). But then again since it's below the pressure relief value, it kinda lies within the expected pressure range.
