oil pressure at idle?

[moooosestang]

For those with oil pressure gauges what psi do you see at idle when hot? I'm getting 36psi even after driving it to get the oil hot.

I get about 20-25psi hot at idle. Then as soon as I increase RPM it pressurized to 40-60 quick.

Thanks! Is that 5w20 or some other flavor?

You've got a lot going on there! I always wondered, when there is a gauge installed in the vent does the vent still work? I really like the warm air in the winter and the cold air in our Redding summers. And if you think your old and stiff now, just wait.

Yes, the vent still works, you just can't aim it. I looked far and wide for a 3d print file for this and couldn't find one so bought a print from pazpodz. very nifty design that clips into the same spot the vent doors clipped into. I have no AC, but I still have heat. I don't really drive the car below 50F so i should really yank that out too, but it's a pita.

That is with 5w20.

Your Oil pressure is normal. Mine runs around 25-30 warm at idle. No worries.

70ish. I haven't given it full throttle since installing the gauge because i just installed a new clutch, but even under half throttle it jumps straight to 65-70psi.
