oil pressure range in N52?

toronto128 · 02-17-2014, 01:59 PM

I am looking to install an oil pressure gauge, and would like to know what is the maximum oil psi the N52 will put out?

thanks

My guess is a max of 5Bar (~75 psi).

There is a low oil pressure switch for the idiot warning light on the dash. The low pressure should be stamped on the switch. Maybe take a look.

yes, that is also my guess, though I could not find actual specifications anywhere

I think I remember being located inside the plug on the switch. Been a long time since I looked into it, but I doubt BMW has ever changed this part.
