wtf? oil pressure question today i noticed that when i started the car up (cold start) - my oil pressure is around 60 psi at idle, and pretty damn close to the end of the gauge when im 1/2 throttle...
afraid to go WOT here!
after a few minutes when the car is at its regular operating temperature, the psi *seem* to have decreased a little.. around 50-ish at idle / cruise, 70-ish psi when 1/2 throttle.. still didn't do a WOT run.
is my oil pump, or something, going?
tell me your opinions here..

Doesnt seem out of the ordinary. If your sending unit is on its way out it will show some crazy readings at time, lol. You know you can stop by and have us check it out.
