Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / March 2005Diesel Oil Pressure
Can't figure out why my oil pressure stays above 30 psi at warm idle on my W115 240D (616 4 cyl. diesel). Always before, I've seen it down below 15. Of course that was on cars with more than 250,000 miles. Is this cause for concern, or rejoicing?  SignatureRandall Brink Author randallbrink@adelphia.net 1970 VW Type 1 1973 Mercedes-Benz W115 240D My '80 300SD has 1.75 BAR (25.7 psi) oil pressure at hot idle (after 108K miles). That's very close to what I'm seeing. Just rolled over 98K miles.

I am used to engines with much higher milage.
