As the temperature goes up the oil pressure goes down because the oil thins out. It is possible that the increasing temperature which causes the 'temp' light to come on can thin the oil enough to cause the 'oil' light to come on also.

It is linked because if you have high atmospheric pressure it brings blue sunny skies. If you have low atmospheric pressure it bring clouds and rain.


What is the use of Braided wires and hoses?

The cross linked braids of wire / fibre in a pipe are to reinforce the basic structure. These are mostly for pipes being used in high pressure or temperature use , where the pipes are flexible but need the reinforcement to hold together. The high pressure will tend to expand the pipe so the braids hold it together to sustain this impact of pressure + temperature.


What does hydrostatic-drive Mean?

a pump is driven by the engine of the machine and is linked to the speed set by the operator. It pumps a constant stream of high-pressure oil to the motor. Since the motor is linked to the drive wheels or tracks of the machine, it gives the machine its travel speed.

What types of air pressure systems are there?

There are two main types of air pressure systems: high-pressure systems and low-pressure systems. High-pressure systems are associated with clear skies, calm weather, and generally stable atmospheric conditions, while low-pressure systems are typically linked to stormy weather, cloud formation, and potentially more turbulent conditions.


What do wire gauges mean?
