oil pressure fluxuation
north pole racer:
i`ve noticed that my oil pressure is decent when cold but when hot it doesnt read at idle,and is all over the place when on the track,seems that others at my track are the same. does someone with more experience with these things have a good explanation?
Winterracing:
With an oil pressure gauge when you go into the corners the pressure will drop thats why the light will be triggered in the corners.

The light is oil level, not oil pressure.
You need to speed up if you are watching your oil pressure while on the track ;)
The hotter the engine, the less oil pressure
north pole racer:
i wouldnt really say im watching it, but i bought the car in parts and put together. so ive been watching stuff while shake it down,ect. first time i noticed it i thought maybe it was low on oil and added some. that obviously wasnt the problem. just thought maybe someone could give me a decent explanation as to why they are like that. the light thing is stupid and i will be disconnecting it.
VMS Motorsports:
Decent explanation: Hotter oil is thinner, thus less oil pressure
