Taking advantage of some of the N55 technological advances here by using the equipped electronic oil flow valve to increase oil pressure wherever we need it.
Defined the table for this a long while ago to control the oil pressure. But just now getting around to actively doing testing.
Testing some moderate oil pressure increases.
Idle (left) - stock was around 40-45psi
Cruise (right) - stock was around 65-70psi
Raising oil pressure for operating temps and even some extent of overtemp oil, and high power operation helps save and maintain bearing clearances and reduces wear and chance of spun bearings on healthy maintained oil.
S55 should have the same thing. So I'll test that also here soon.
