Normal road driving, the oil pressure is about 55psi with oil temp of 80C. This pressure dropped to 45psi while enjoying a 30min session of high sustained revs round RAF Marham. During this time the oil temp rose steadily from 80C to 100C where it stayed. After cruising back into the pits, then idling for a minute, the pressure was about 30psi. 1 hour later, the oil pressure was again at 60 falling ot 45 during the next session. Is this all ok ?

cheers
