Posted 16/09/13 03:21 PM Share Posted 16/09/13 03:21 PM Hi, just wondering if anyone knows what oil pressure the ford fg xr6 turbo's should be getting. I have a oil pressure gauge connected to an oil filter sandwich plate and I'm getting around 50 psi. Does anyone know if it should be higher or lower? Im also usin 0w40 castrol edge oil but im thinking of going a 15w40 as recommended by ford.

When it's cold it's like 50 idling 70 odd accelerating Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86278-fg-xr6-turbo-oil-pressure/#findComment-1425681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt its changed with the FG. Keep the 0w40 as your still a 40 weight even if you change it, the 0 just means the viscosity is closer to the 40 visc at startup.

Could this just be because slightly lower idle rpm with new injectors? Or what?
