VE 06SS
Hi All. Couldn't seem to find an existing thread and I don't see it in the manual.

Are the numbers written on these oil pressure gauges arbitrary or do the mean something?



1 - 3 - 5

Bar perhaps?

Thanks




How do I get them to show up on my VE SS 2006?

You cant unfortunately, have to have it programmed, or buy a reprogrammed unit from somewhere. I did the latter and while I like it, I've lost my audio information and the oil temp sensor needs to be activated to show a reading (middle gauge).

These are the figures quoted in the manual (with a warm engine):
6.0 litre
LS2 : 90kpa at 1000rpm
L98 :
to 2009 : 90kpa @ 1000 rpm
from 2010 : 270kpa @ 3000 rpm
L76 : 41kpa @ 1000 rpm
L77 : 165kpa @ 1000 rpm
6.2 litre (LS3)
to 2009 :41kpa @ 1000 rpm
from 2010 : 165kpa @ 1000 rpm

Am I reading this right?

6.2L LS3.
2009 model should idle @ 41kpa?

My 2007 ve ssv is doing this too... Everything seems normal the first 10mins of driving but when it's warm at idle I'm traffic, it goes to 1 bar, there have been instances I've seen it go to no bars but no engine light comes on. Getting a oil pressure test done this week.
