Thank you so much! I inherited a 79 Porsche 911 from my dad and fixed up one broken part on it. I've always wondered what those gauges should be around to know how healthy the car is and if it's doing alright. It has been impossible to find any info on that. This video was soooo helpful, so thank you so much!
The two THIN white lines are 90C and 120C (degrees Centigrade). This works out to be 194F to 248F (degrees Fahrenheit). (I sold my 87 Carrera back in 2013, so I am strictly going from memory). Oil level should NOT be checked until the engine has warmed up to at least the lower thin white line. Bruce Anderson (remember him?) said that at 248F the engine was running “hot,” and at or above the red line (120C or approximately 302F)it is “too d*** hot.”
thanks. I just did the engine on my 84 Targa. My oil pressure stays at 5 all the time and is not working properly.I am waiting on a new gage. The information you provided will be very useful.

Very good info on the Bar conversion to lbs Oil pressure

It sounds like the sender wire is grounded. Unplug the sender and see if the gauge needle drops. If not, unplug the gauge, it should drop then.
did all that already. Also when you stall the car and leave the key on ignition the gage reads 5 instead of going to zero. So it is bad.
Awesome info. Thank you!
Great video and info thank you sir
great content 😎
Thank you!
thanks for the tip, in Numbers, what degrees to be check if its not good? thanks
Look to the left of the gauge faceplate with a flashlight, you should see numbers.
The difference between 3 PM and the red area is about 8 ounces
