[SOLVED] Low oil pressure at idle

<< < (7/7)

OllieVRS:
Dropped my post-trackday filter after 1000km. This filter has been run on a couple hours of insufficient (idle) oil pressure while I was fixing the oil pressure, and then 1000km since then on what I assume is adequate oil pressure.

It's hard to capture in a picture the state of it, so I took a 44 sec video. I would appreciate if yous could give me your opinions on it:




Cheers

Octoparrot:
I don't think that looks good.

OllieVRS:
1000km since the oil filter video I last posted, things are looking up. Different lighting in the video I know, to my human eyes there appears to be around 20% less metal. There must just be metal flakes floating around the oil and stuck in different corners of the oil system, that will just get flushed out over time and caught in the filter eventually.

My oil pressure's still in spec too, so false alarm about my engine tearing itself to death guys :smiley:
