another oil pressure question??? just curious, how many of you see less than 40 PSI at idle with the car hot???
cold starts, i see 50+ PSI but its dropped as low as about 32 at hot idle...it doesn't usually go that low anymore, i'd say about 36-38 when hot now, but it has been lower on a couple of occasions. the needle doesn't seem to jump around or anything either. oil of choice is mobil 1 5W30.
is ~30 psi still within safe limits???
