Just a note for those running DAFs with high oil pressure readings (above manufacturers recommendations). Our 575 was running at 7 bar, flicking up to 8 bar when the engine was hot. This is with 20w-50w oil.
We adjusted the 'variable oil pressure valve', found next to Oil Filter housing, the donk is now running at 4 bar pressure and every one on board is more relaxed (well, o.k. mainly me).
We are on the move south and hoping to source 30w Oil for next change.
Thanks to David Beaumont for alerting us to the fact that DAF's have that variable valve.
