woah woah woahhh...... youve put slick 50 into a FRESHLY built engine?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
fail!!! big time fail!
Aside from that stuff being crap at the best of times it will have prevented proper bedding in of the rings etc.
oh and ftr, thick oil gets upto pressure faster than thin oil
Forget the slick 50 shizzle, they don't do jack tbh.
I persoanlly don't see any problems fella as the oil light goes out after 2 seconds, as you've said. It's probably the time it takes for the oil to start fully circulating and until then there is minimal oil pressure.
On the SEH from cold start up you should see 4 - 5 bar pressure even on idle. As it warms up the needle should drop to around 1/3 on the guage (on idle) and it should also get back up to high pressure when driving from around 2000 rpm.
This was actually the way my 1.2 behaved aswell.
If there are no warning lights and the needle doesn't drop to the lower end of the oil guage whilst driving, then it's ok. If this is how your gauge behaves then it sounds fine to me.
Looks like I need to stop worrying as pressure is good when running.
Thanks for the replys.
