Does anyone have any remmedies for maintaining oil pressure? I've researched it and so far, aside from installing an aftermarket oil pump, (which almost does not exist for my engine), I was wondering if anyone had any remedies for maintaining the oil pressure? Anything that is completely home made or otherwise? Right now, when it's still cold, I have decent pressure, the kind I'd like to keep. Anywhere from 4 to 6 bar. After it's heated up, it drops to 2 and usually below. 2 bar is the lowest safe point for oil pressure and it's pretty much stayed around there or under after a good run or driving for a while. I am going to be installing an oil cooler and this will affect it some but I still want to find a way to keep the pressure up around 4 or so. Anyone?
