Is there any correlation between the oil level and the oil pressure? Will the oil pressure go down as the oil level goes down?

Not sure I follow this one.
Why would the pressure be lower? Aren't the relief pistons and springs there to maintain pressure? Ok, I could see it if there is cavitation inside the pump, foaming in the oil, thinner oil because lower oil levels makes the oil run hotter, or perhaps that the pump runs dry during high revs or long turns, but why in general would the pressure drop just because the oil level was lower? --- bill |

May 18 2008, 07:06 PM ConeDodger I agree with Dave. Oil level does not effect press... May 18 2008, 07:33 PM
