2.4 OIL SYSTEM OPERATION
Both oil pressure and oil temperature are displayed continuously in two
separate full sweep graphic and digital areas.
Oil Pressure:
As oil pressure rises, the graph size increases proportionately. The full
color range marks let you see at a glance how close to red line oil
pressure you are.
The digital display reads out in 1 PSI increments to a maximum of 99.
This is very useful for monitoring typical engine oil pressure trends.
Because of the high accuracy and repeatability of this system, the oil
pressure can be closely monitored for unusual trends. For example, if
you are cruising in a stabilized condition, and the oil pressure starts to
count down, and oil temp is counting up, this could help you to identify
impending oil-loss or cooling problems.
Oil Pressure Alert:
A warning alert activates whenever the engines redline is reached. The
display will flash until this condition is corrected.
