Hi guys was wondering what the normal oil pressure is at idle.I've hooked up a new aftermaket gauge (psi) as the old one wasnt working.
It reads about 20 psi @idle and goes up to about 65-75 psi at higher revs is that right?.

Oil pressure is a bit High. That means you can go down a level in Oil Weight and gain some free power. :)
It suppose to be around 10psi at 1000rpm and 60psi @ 7000rpm is enough.
