I'm not after reading today's Auto Express smile .

In the magazine they're testing the new Signum VXR and in one of the pictures they have this shot.

click to enlarge

It seems that the engine oil pressure at below hot idle is only 1.6 Bar,and here we're all getting our knickers in a twist about low oil pressure in our 100K+ mile engines crazy laugh .

Of course it could be that because it's a V6 engine it'll have a lower idle speed than the Coop's and that could account for a lower pressure too,then again that might be just Coupé paranoia creeping in again laugh .

Isnt it a 2.8 V6 anyway? The oil pump is probably dying from the factory trying to force 6 litres or so round the block...
