oil pressure I have a 99, my oil pressure is usually around 50 according to the gauge.
Is this normal, I know most people recomend swapping the oil pump on the pre 01? cars dues to a weak pump, but mine seems like its doing the job good.
Whats the psi for a good pump? does the psi give indication of the pump condition or can an oil pump work good then suddenly "break" and loose pressure?

I find it curious that there is such a wide range of oil pressures amongst the site users, anywhere from 20 to 60 lbs at idle. Wow, that shouldn't be.
