Greetings all -
I'm curious about what one should expect regarding oil pressure as an engine ages. For example, my oil pressure was around 75 at stabilized cruise when the engine was newly overhauled. Around 5 or 600 hours, it had drifted down to about 70, so I cranked up the regulator to around 75 again. Now, around 1100 hours, it is again down to about 70 and will be adjusted again the next time the cowl top is off. There is a little change within oil change cycles, but is what I'm seeing about typical?
Thanks -
