Zetor 9540 engine oil pressure PSI

[devplex]

Hi,
Anybody know what the normal PSI for engine oil pressure for a 9540 is.

Would you consider 10 - 20 PSI too low for this engine when warm and at idle.

Cheers..

manual gives 0.2-0.5 MPa with a min.oil pressure of 0.05.at idle.


I interpret that as 3-7 psi but then I'm a farmer and not an engineer! I think you have plenty of oil pressure!

Just looked up MPa and 1 is 140 psi. Zetor workshop manual says ....
oil pressure at nominal engine speed and oil at 90 celcius 0.2-0.5 mpa equals 26-70 psi
But min pressure states engine at 700rpm oil temp at 80 celcius min pressure 0.05 mpa which is 7psi at idle.
hope it helps some, your engine sounds ok too me.

Thanks Transpond..
Its interesting to know. It looks like anything over 10 psi should be good.
