Oil pump washer pressure control oil pressure washer

Oil pump washer / pressure control / oil pressure

To increase the oil pressure in the system by increasing the preload of the spring, to increase the control pressure.

Special feature: The washers are handmade by us and are not standard washers from car accessories!

Available variants:

• 3 mm: Partially installed as standard on some Audi models.
• 4 mm: Increases oil pressure by approx. 0.15–0.2 bar.
• 5 mm: Increases the oil pressure by approx. 0.2–0.5 bar.

Choosing the right washer:

• 5 mm: For vehicles with low oil pressure when stationary and high wear at operating temperature (80–90 °C).
• 4 mm: For vehicles with normal oil pressure and normal wear at operating temperature.
• 3 mm: For anyone unsure – this thickness works perfectly and has been used by Audi itself.

Note for oil pressure enthusiasts: It's pointless to simply choose the 5 mm version! The different viscosities of the oil used significantly influence the oil pressure (e.g., 5WXYZ / 10WXYZ). If in doubt, choose a thinner size.

The picture shows the washers in different thicknesses.
