"Greetings to all from Australia.
We have a problem with an oil pressure alarm coming on when the engine is idling (and hot). The gauge shows 25-30psi but the alarm comes on at that. The alarm goes away when throttled above idle and the oil pressure increases. I suspect a faulty alarm switch.
Could anyone advise what pressure would be normal at idle and at what pressure should the alarm activate? It would also be a great help if someone knew what size hex the switch has because I need to buy a long socket or tube spanner to get in there.
Many thanks,
