I'm working on a project and need some help with what people's typical oil pressures are.

I have a washer behind the spring and see over 70psi at full boogie and probably around 30 at idle. Seems kinda high so I want to know what pressures are typical for most people.

So if you don't mind:

Hot idle / Hot WOT


Thanks,

Roger

Cold start 75 sometimes I think its gonnna completely peg and on a cool day about 60 hot idle but on a really day I've seen around 50ish. Thats a TSP ported pump.

Meling high volume/pressure pump. 60psi at idle, between 60 and 75psi WOT. It never goes to the 40psi mark.

99 ta with 100k miles, stock everything. mobil 1 5w30 synthetic. 30psi hot (200*) idle 60psi hot wot 5500+ rpm.

something odd i've noticed is that it goes from 30psi up to 40psi @ 1200 rpm and only makes 40psi until 4k or so. then goes up to 60 on the nose around 5500.

Usually a little over 60 cold start and stays there when warm and nearly pegs the gauge under WOT.

just over 40 idle, just over 40 driving, just over 40 cold start.

I wonder if my gauge is working?

I rarely take the car wot and when I do, I'm not looking at the oil pressure gauge, but the object/situation that made me go wot. From what I recall though, it was up around 50 when I was paying very close attention to this, but that was back during mid summer, 90 degeree days.

totally stock, worn out LS1, barely alive btw.

60 psi cold idle, 42 psi hot idle, over 60 psi as rpm climbs.

Stock LS6 in 2002 Z06. Hot oil (200 ~ 210 deg F), Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic.

Idle (800 RPM) = 32 ~ 33 psi
WOT (5000 RPM) = 65 ~ 68 psi

Forged 347 w/SLP oil pump & Mobil 1 10w30 Extended Performance. Total Seal brand moly coated rings:
Cold:
Idle = 50-60psi
WOT = I don't go WOT when the motor is cold...

Mostly warm oil:
Idle = ~40psi
WOT = ~55-~65+

See below for hot oil pressure (68+ at WOT):

The in car video in my sig shows various rpm pressures. It's a ported, shimmed stocker.
