Leading evidence: 'Run high speed sweepers' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run high speed sweepers' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just bought a new 04 Carrera. Should the oil gauge readings fluctuate with speed? Manual says at 5000 rpm gauge should read 3.5 bar. At slow speeds 40-50 mph it reads about 3.5 bar but at about 70 mph it reads about 4.5 bar. I assume this is normal.Just wondering. Thanks in advance.
JJS, congrats on your new beauty. Oil pressure will fluctuate while driving... just keep a

Yes, its normal. I asked the dealer about that also after noticing that in the manual and they said it was wrong. It was mean't to be that it shouldn't be below 3.5 bar at 5000 rpm.
It's normal, usually when I am driving I make it a habit to keep an eye on the gauges very closely such as the oil, temperature and power level ( Battery Charge ).
If you make it a habit, you shouldn't have any concerns while driving. Just my 2 cents.
Cheers and safe driving.
I noticed that too, but mine fluctuates between 2-5 (2 usually after warmed up and say at a red light & 5 when I press on the accelerator at higher RPMS's). Is this much of a fluctuation normal as well?
Thanks in advance.
Yup it should be high until it gets warmed up then drop down to 2 when at idle and it should go up at higher rpm.
Too low of pressure is what to look out for.
afaik, since the oil pump is engine driven, the pressure generated should be proportionate to engine rpm. i don't know 911 engines but i'd imagine this is true with all cars, as you'd want higher pressure at higher rpms to ensure coverage of friction surfaces.
pressure will vary with oil temp (oil gets thinner as it warms up and this means less pressure) and the viscosity of the oil (10w30 will be lower than 20w50 because it is thinner)
to make a long story short, you're fine
