I need to change the settings on my Innovate gauges to show optimal temperatures and oil pressure warnings.

So on the innovate MDX-D oil gauges the middle section is the oil Pressure visualised as a number.
I need to know what is too low of an oil pressure so i can use my laptop to change the gauge setting to flash a warning when it gets too low. At idle when hot im at 15(psi i assume) so id say 10 is the warning?

Around the outside of the gauge it show oil temperature but this is a bar thats has 3 stages in green, yellow and red.
I can change the setting to show the green to yellow change over at a certain temp and the yellow to red at a certain temp.
Obviously i want green to yellow to be when VTEC can be used so what 80degrees C?
And the yellow to red change over to be the maximum oil temp before it starts to do harm. Maybe 125degrees C?




ANy advice pretty please.

Can't say for sure but the oem sensor comes on at 3-5psi maybe Swear I read that on here somewhere So maybe 8-10psi as a warning.

Temps I would say 125deg c would be a absolute max for synthetic oil. I don't know for sure but would expect 110degree c max on hard driving.

But, of coarse, I could be wrong

If it was me, I'd want it to stay green all the time for temp. As yellow and red are a warning. So maybe 100-110 degree c in yellow, then anything over 110 go into red. So normal to freaking insane driving in green, then maybe track driving coming into yellow for example. 0-100 degree c in green.

No yellow is optimal although i agree green appears more friendly in colour. Does the same thing on my Air fuel gauge. Green is 0 to 13:1 then yellow is up to 17.1 and red from then onwards.
I cant change the colour order.

Plus yellow is about 10 o clock and 2 oclock on the gauge so easier to read being central.
Yellow is going to be the main operating range, Green warming up and Red too hot.

On the yank forums it appears 125deg C is the limits.

I use Gulf Comp 10w40 esther based oil. Oil burning is near minimal.

No other input other than I agree with your colour theory

I love you Donald.

Is that low? My 4th's engine idles at 33psi ish


Any H22 should idle above 10 psi with the OEM warning light at 6PSI. I owuld put your warning at 10 psi.

15 is normal and what it should be at idle at 800ish rpm.

Cool. I have never seen a what a stock engine PSI is. I assumed with yours being modded it would be a little higher.

Hot idle oil pressure on mine is just over 1 bar,about 15PSI. So 10-12PSI sounds fair enough for a warning. Oil temp, the hottest I've seen it at is 95C-97C range. So 100-110C would be a good warning indicator. Coolant gets to about 92C then the fan kicks in as expected so for me anything over 100C on the oil temp would get my attention. Of course I'm not talking about track time here just normal driving.
