Above the bubble-point pressure, the oil formation volume factor decreases. This is due to the expansion of gas released from the oil as pressure decreases, causing the volume of oil to increase for a given mass.
Oil expands about 0.07% for each degree Celsius increase in temperature. This expansion can lead to changes in volume, pressure, and viscosity in the oil.
GOV= TOV * MF GOV = gross oil volume TOV = Total oil Volume GSV = GOV * Ctl * Cpl GSV = Gross standard volume . NSV = GSV*(1-BS&W/100) NSV= Net standard volume
The volume is the ratio Mass/Density. You need the density of this oil to calculate the volume. Or - weight 75 g oil in a graduated cylinder and read the volume.
The density of oil can be found by measuring its mass and volume. First, weigh a specific amount of oil using a balance to determine its mass. Then, measure the volume of the oil using a graduated cylinder or another volumetric container. Finally, calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume (density = mass/volume).

10 Psi is all that's required..the Harley engine needs oil Volume..not pressure..the lifters rquire 8-10 psi of oil pressure...Use a Synthetic oil..not the mineral .
Who knows? Typically engine life is more a function of oil volume rather than pressure, but oil volume is difficult to measure. The oil pressure on these trucks goes up and down as you drive. At idle it can get frighteningly low after the engine has some miles on it. I use a quart of Lucas Oil Stabilizer to replace one quart of oil at oil change. This seems to help all the way around. My 98 has 275,000 miles.

It is mechanical unit and varies with engine speed and temperature. what is the right pressure? Who knows?

You can search on google for how to grind out a small circle around the oil pickup on the block. You can upgrade to a high volume oil pump. You can have the oil journals flushed. You can use a thicker oil.
Low oil pressure or failed oil pressure switch.Low oil pressure or failed oil pressure switch.
Low oil pressure or a defective oil pressure sending unit.Low oil pressure or a defective oil pressure sending unit.
Around 40-45 dependent upon viscosity. Higher if high volume pump.
It means low oil pressure. Engine bearings run on a thin film of pressurized oil. The oil pump moves a volume of oil and if the bearings are tight enough, the pressure remains at a normal level with the pressure regulator limiting the maximum pressure. If the pressure has dropped, it's usually an indication of bearing wear. Of course it CAN mean that you're out of oil, because if there isn't any oil to pump, the engine can't build oil pressure; but hopefully you know better than that. Low oil pressure is almost always an indication of worn bearings. In some rare circumstances it can also be caused by a worn or damaged oil pump.
